Churches Of Rome (rione Parione)
There are more than 900 churches in Rome. Most, but not all, of these are Catholic. The first churches of Rome originated in places where Christians met. They were divided into three main categories: :#the houses of private Roman citizens (people who hosted the meetings of Christians also known as ''oratoria'', ''oracula'') :#the deaconries (places where charity distributions were given to the poor and placed under the control of a deacon; the greatest deaconries had many deacons, and one of them was elected archdeacon) :#other houses holding a '' titulus'' (known as ''domus ecclesia'') Tituli Pope Marcellus I (A.D. 306–308) is said to have recognized twenty five ''tituli'' in the City of Rome, ''quasi dioecesis''. It is known that in 336, Pope Julius I had set the number of presbyter cardinals to 28, so that for each day of the week, a different presbyter cardinal would say mass in one of the four major basilicas of Rome, St. Peter's, Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the ...
