There is also the famous (apocryphal) story of Sylvester I presenting Constantine with icons of Peter and Paul, whom Constantine recogizes from his dream.
Also, I'm sure everyone is aware that the Vatican is going to some lengths to focus on Paul this year. Related to that, the claim placed on 2008-9 as the
Pauline year was to celebrate the 2000th anniversary of his birth. What is that based on?
