The Church of St John on the Lateran in Rome is ‘Mother and Head of all The Churches of the City and the World’. It is the cathedral church of the Pope, and was called ‘St John’ after the two monasteries once attached, dedicated to St John the Divine and St John the Baptist. It is however dedicated to the Most Holy Saviour.
