Catholics, especially Roman Catholics hold Rome in an important place since the first bishop of Rome (The pope) was St. Peter.
Roman Catholic AnswerRome has been the primatial see of Christendom since St. Peter (who arrived there in A.D. 42, and St. Paul (who arrived in A.D. 60) and who were both martyred there under Nero, most probably in A.D. 64. Except for the Avignon residence of the Popes from 1309 to 1377, the Vicar of Christ (the successor of St. Peter) has always resided in Rome.
Yep, that's where the Pope sits.
Roman Catholic AnswerRome was the center of the known world back at the time of Jesus' crucifixion, and both Paul and Peter went there and were martyred there. Peter is buried under St. Peter's Basilica, you can see his tomb if you visit, and Paul is buried at St. Paul Outside the Walls.Even from the days of the Apostle Paul, Rome seems to have been an important centre of Christianity. In the fourth century, Emperor Constantine made himself, and his successors, the de facto leader of the Christian Church, with the bishop of Rome as one of the five Metropolitans, or senior bishops of the Church. The loss to Christianity of Carthage in northern Africa, and the Great Schism of 1054, left the bishop of Rome, known in the West as the pope, as the supreme leader of the Catholic Church.

The English Catholic Church is just that, a Catholic Church in union with the pope in Rome. It is no different from any Catholic Church elsewhere in the world except that the language used is English.
