  St Peter's Is The Main Catholic Church In Rome, And The World
  
  It is certainly the most famous and most publicised, but it is not the main one. That honour goes to the relatively unheard of St Giovanni in Laterano (St John Lateran) which is officially the Cathedral of Rome and Metropolitan Church of its Bishops. The building also bears the inscription ' Mother And Head Of All Churches In The City And The World'
