360 Video: Inside the Tomb of St. Peter at the Vatican

Fascinating video!

Get ready to meet St. Peter.
Yahoo News was granted rare access to film inside the Vatican Grottos, a series of chapels and papal tombs located directly beneath the famous St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. In 360 degrees, the final resting places of popes dating back to the Middle Ages can be viewed on a virtual tour narrated by Yahoo Global News Anchor Katie Couric.

Of the 266 Popes throughout history, approximately 100 of them are buried below the basilica. On the tour, viewers will see monuments to Pope Nicholas the Fifth, Pope Innocent the Seventh, and Pope Paul the Second, among others.
In an exclusive and stunning conclusion to the tour, Yahoo News filmed the tomb of St. Peter, the man Catholics call the “First Pope,” one of the twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ. The remains of Peter are located directly beneath the altar where Pope Francis celebrates Mass, and create a literal foundation for the Church and its deep and storied history.

It's known as the most famous chapel in the world. Generation after generation, its priceless artwork is admired by art lovers. For centuries its frescoes have witnessed the conclave, when the successor of Peter is elected to lead the Church.

Between 320 and 327, Constantine built a five-aisled basilica atop the early Christian necropolis, placing the alter right above Peter's resting place. Much of the Vatican Hill was leveled to provide a firm foundation for the first St. Peter's Basilica. The altar of the Basilica was planned to be located directly over the tomb. The matter was complicated by the upper chamber or memoria above the vault. This upper chamber had become endeared to the Romans during the ages of persecution, and they were unwilling that it should be destroyed. The memoria was turned into the Chapel of the Confession. Above that was the main floor of the Basilica, with the raised altar directly over the Chapel of the Confession.

These are good videos except, Paul was NOT a member nor did he ever join the Roman Catholic church. As a matter of fact, the Roman Catholic church didn't even exist when Paul was alive. It was the Romans who executed Paul and Jesus, among others...

These are all false statements. I am not calling you a liar, I am sure you believe they are true, but they are not.

The Church is the Church, and it was called Catholic in apostolic times. The Church Jesus established was known by its most common title, “the Catholic Church,” at least as early as the year 107, when Ignatius of Antioch used that title to describe the one Church Jesus founded. The title apparently was old in Ignatius’s time, which means it probably went all the way back to the time of the apostles.

The word "Catholic" did not morph into a proper noun until it was necessary to distinguish between manmade sects and the one true Church, at which time the one true Church began being called the Catholic Church. 

Both Peter and Paul were killed in Rome. Those are recorded historical facts,

You're a good dude over in the politics section so I don't want to get into a heated argument with you here. Let us say we shall agree to disagree.
