Rome, September 14, 2008
(Heralds of the Gospel) This morning, Monsignor João Scognamiliglio Clá Dias E.P., founder and general president of the Heralds of the Gospel, an international association of faithful of pontifical right was incorporated into the Liberian Chapter of the Papal Basilica of St. Mary Major.
Msgr. João Scognamiglio Clá Dias E.P. was created an honorary canon of the Papal Basilica , by a bull of Pope Benedict XVI, being received by the Chapter, presided over by the Archpriest, Cardinal Bernard Francis Law, in a solemn ceremony held at 9:00 in the Chapter Chapel. After,the Holy Eucharist was celebrated, in the papal altar, presided over by Cardinal Law and concelebrated by Monsignor João Cla, members of the Liberian chapter and numerous priests. The faithful filled up completely the grandiose Basilica, to attend the Eucharistic celebration.
The Liberian Chapter's origin dates back to the twelfth century, having currently 31 canons, of which 7 are honorary. Being a Papal Basilica, the members of the Chapter are created by the Supreme Pontiff, so conferred with the dignity of Apostolic Protonotary Supernumerary.
St. Mary Major is one of four basilicas papal along with St. Peter, St. John Lateran and St. Paul's outside-the-walls. The construction began around the year 360, at the initiative of Pope Liberius, but who gave the decisive impetus was Pope Sixtus III, in the V century, shortly after having affirmed the doctrine of the Divine Motherhood of the Holy Virgin, at the Council of Ephesus.
In this historic and beautiful basilica, there are in exposition for public veneration some of the most venerable relics of Christianity: the Relics of the Manger, where baby Jesus was born.
One of the interesting features of this basilica is to have the highest bell tower of Rome, with about 75 meters.
