At what age does the Vatican allow someone to pray directly to God through Jesus?

When you enter.
The third old torch holder on your right. Stand on front of it. Grab it down and then say
"Dicit enim mihi apertum"

You're welcome.

My 14 yo daughter and I will be visiting Rome and the Vatican in a couple months. I want to tour the catacombs but I found out you must be 15 years old to do the tour.

Well, according to the Catholic belief, life begins at conception, so my daughter should be considered 15 years old at the time of our visit.

They won't let her do the tour.


Not to detract to your throwing flames and clear struggle on this issue, but a good friend of mine is, well was, in one of the leaders of the Vatican tours. I would ping him to help you out but he died in his sleep Easter night.

RIP Brother Anthony Freeman.

You're just now realizing the church has all kinds of arcane rules?

Any idea how he died? My mom told me about it on monday. I hadn't talked to the guy in probably 15 years but we were childhood friends. Used to go on vocational discernment retreats and stuff like that together.

No such rule existed in 2007 and my younger brother (8 at the time) had nightmares about the catacombs.

After we left he was pale as a ghost abd when we asked what was wrong, he started crying and saying how he didn’t want anyone in our family to die.

I wish there was an age limit back then. Would have saved us a lot of time consoling a child that no one was gonna die. Of course we all know we will eventually die but he didn’t need him I hear that

26 year old Syrians are counted as 15, so why can’t 14 year old Americans be 15. Tell them she identifies as a 15 year old.

Best guess so far is a heart issue.

I have know Br. Anthony for about 10 years now. One of the greats. I take it you're from Houma?

Was a kid in Thibodaux. Moved away when i was 12 or so.

That's sad. Crazy that could happen to a 30 year old. He was in the Legionaries of Christ, right? He looked pretty fit on instagram, not even close to overweight or anything. I went on a lot of the vocation retreats and then to the boarding school up in Rhode Island there before leaving the church and the Legionaries always stressed physical fitness.

He was fit. If it was a heart issue it was one of the undetected not due to fitness things.

Yes he was a LC, was due to be ordained a transitional deacon in Houston in July and then Priest in April 2018.

He had just completed an 8 day silent retreat and served as the cross bearer for Pope Francis' Easter Sunday Mass and went back to the dorms and never woke up.

A bit More...
