Rome represents the pagan world and therefore all peoples who are outside the ancient people of God. In fact, the Acts [of the Apostles] conclude with the arrival of the Gospel in Rome. We can say, hen, that Rome is the concrete name of the catholicity and missionary spirit of the Church; it expresses fidelity to the origins, to the Church of all times, to a Church that speaks in all languages and goes out to meet every culture.
