Summary
“Paul and Peter” describes a series of changes that Pope Gregory XVI and his advisors made in the iconographic and liturgical/spatial aspects of the basilica, arguing that they aimed to recast the relationship of Peter and Paul in the basilica’s historic iconography to highlight their joint protection of Rome and to foreground Paul as the new guide for the Church in its confrontation with secular modernity.
