Home›Christianity›Originated In›RomeRegionRomeAlso Known As Roma CapitaleEuropeDocumented History and SocietyVerifiedRome is used here for the city itself, the capital of Italy on the Tiber in the central-western Italian Peninsula, which the source calls one of the cradles of Western civilization and Western Christian culture and the centre of the Catholic Church. Vatican City, an independent country, lies within its municipal boundaries. The article dates the history of the city across 28 centuries, with Roman mythology placing its founding at around 753 BC. Rites, orders, denominations and figures are placed here when the atlas records them as arising in the city, whether in its ancient religion or in the Church that grew up there.RomeConnectionsIn the Other AtlasesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)RomeFilter Results1 entryChurch FamilyAllRoman Catholic (1)Origin EraAll30 (1)Establishment StatusAllVaries by Province (1)Parent ReligionAllChristianity (1)Marriage PositionAllMarriage is held to be a lifelong, monogamous, indissoluble union; remarriage after divorce is not sanctioned while a spouse lives (1)Liturgical LanguageAllLatin (1)The vernacular (1)Sexuality PositionAllSame-sex sexual relationships are held contrary to teaching; LGBT individuals are welcomed as members but not ordained, and same-sex unions are not blessed (1)PolityAllEpiscopal: governed by bishops (1)Universal primacy of a single bishop (1)Practice StatusAllLiving tradition, practised today (1)Ordination PracticeAllCelibacy required of the ordained (1)Married clergy permitted (1)Restricted to men (1)Roman CatholicismRomeConnectionsContained InItaly, Regions Well-attested Source Rome (Wikipedia)Originated HereFirst Clement, Scriptures & Texts Well-attested Source The Apostolic Fathers: Greek Texts and English Translations (Michael W.
