  Domine Quo Vadis Church, Rome
Domine Quo Vadis Church takes its name from the legend that the Apostle Peter, fleeing from Rome to escape martyrdom, met Christ here and, not recognising him, asked, "Sir, whither goest thou ?" ("Domine, quo vadis ?"); whereupon Christ replied "I come to be crucified a second time".
On the basis of this legend the little church of Santa Maria in Palmis was built in the ninth century and became known as the Domine Quo Vadis church; it was rebuilt in the 17th century.
Within the church is a reproduction of the footprint of Christ and a bust of Henryk Sienkiewicz, author of the novel "Quo Vadis ?".

 Church of Domine Quo Vadis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the moment we still do not know with precision where exactly the sanctuary was; however an error by some authors of 17th century caused many commonly to think still today that the temple of Rediculum was the sepulchre also said to be of Annia Regilla, toward the inner side of the Caffarella park.
It has to be noted that the Roman Catholic Church admits the legend, after Pope Innocent III declared the fact was true; his decree is included in the Decretali di Gregorio IX, book IV, tit.
In 1983 Pope John Paul II defined the church "a place that has a special importance in the history of Rome and in the history of the Church".

 CHAPTER 38 - FROM THE DEAD SEA LEGENDS TO COMPARATIVE MYTHOLOGY,

Among the more than sixty catacombs,which surround Rome, the Catacombs of St. Callixtus hold a primary importance for the extension and the deepness of the excavations; for the great number of tombs, for the richness and variety of the inscriptions and paintings; for the Crypt of the Popes and the crypts of many martyrs.
Even when at the beginning of the 5th century the Church started again to bury the dead above ground, the Catacombs, which had become true sanctuaries of the martyrs, continued for centuries to be visited by the Christians, who came to pray at the martyrs' tombs and there to renew their faith.
Then, while the Church freely provided for the poor, believers who had the economic means, while they were still alive, bought sepulchres for themselves or their families.

There still exists on the little Aventine in the city itself the old title of St. Balbina, first mentioned in an epitaph of the sixth century and in the signatures to a Roman council (595) of the time of Pope Gregory I. This church was erected in a large ancient hall.
Its titular saint is supposed to be identical with the St. Balbina who was buried in the catacomb of Praetextatus and whose bones together with those of her father were brought here at a later date.

I agree that some of the statements made are true of the church (I especially liked the “they were only seekers, with a right to privacy” line).
The general notion that all churches are megachurches, that Christ is not to be found in a large church, and that he has left his church is not Biblical.
That struck me as over the top, too.  I think the sounds of children running noisily through the church and church parking lots filled with carseat-laden minivans are glorious sights and sounds.

It is a dark measure of the explosive growth that the Eastern Orthodox Church has experienced in the 15 years since the repressive regimes of the Soviet bloc disappeared, lifting the lid of official atheism off a spiritually starved people.
A return to religion in Romania and the region's other formerly Communist countries has in many places outrun the speed at which the church can screen and train clergy, leaving institutions like the monastery at Tanacu in the hands of poorly educated young men like Father Corogeanu.
