The Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano is also known as the Cathedral of Rome. The Catholic basilica, in fact, is the cathedral of the diocese of Rome, and therefore under the control of the Pope as Bishop of Rome (who, however, delegates many of its functions to Bishop Angelo De Donatis, as archpriest of that basilica). Only the Pope and the members of the clergy who he delegates can celebrate Holy Mass in this cathedral. Options: adults and children.
