  Jubilee (Christian) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jubilees of 1450 and 1475 were attended by vast crowds of pilgrims, and that of 1450 was unfortunately made famous by a terrible accident in which nearly two hundred persons were trampled to death in a panic which occurred on the bridge of Sant' Angelo.
The omission of the Jubilees of 1800 and 1850 was due to political disturbances.
The Jubilee was closed by the pope on January 6, 2001, by the closing of the holy door of St. Peter's and the promulgation of the Apostolic Letter Novo Millennio Ineunte (Upon Entering the New Millennium), which outlined the pope's vision for the future of the Church.

Jubilee by indulgence is a denial of the cross of Jesus Christ.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Holy Year of Jubilee
Another Jubilee was accordingly proclaimed by Martin V in 1423, but Nicholas V, in 1450, reverted to the quinquagesimal period, while Paul II decreed that the Jubilee should be celebrated every twenty-five years, and this has been the normal rule ever since.
The precise conditions for gaining each Jubilee are determined by the Roman pontiff, and they are usually announced in a special Bull, distinct from that which it is customary to issue on the preceding feast of the Ascension giving notice of the forthcoming celebration.
Besides the ordinary Jubilee indulgence, to be gained only by pilgrims who pay a visit to Rome, or through special concession by certain cloistered religious confined within their monasteries, it has long been customary to extend this indulgence the following year to the faithful throughout the world.

 Basilica - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The Latin word, basilica (derived from Greek basiliké stoà, royal stoa), was originally used to describe a Roman public building (as in Greece, mainly a tribunal), usually located at the centre of a Roman town (Forum).
After the Roman Empire became officially Christian, the term came by extension to refer to a large, and important church that has been given special ceremonial rights by the Pope, and thus the word retains two senses today, in an architectural context and in an ecclesiastical one.
Probably the most splendid Roman basilica is the one constructed for traditional purposes during the reign of the pagan emperor Maxentius and finished by Constantine after 313.

 Forgery & Indulgences
In 1420 Chicheley, Archbishop of Canterbury, whether moved, as Raynaldus says, by love of gain, or, as we may charitably hope, by inordinate zeal, proclaimed for his episcopal seat a jubilee with the same pardons as that of Rome.
On hearing of it Martin V interposed effectively, characterizing it as an unheard of presumption, an audacious sacrilege and an attempt to erect a false tabernacle of salvation in opposition to the Roman pontiff, to whom alone God had confided the power.
It was a period of audacious forgery, as manifested in the Portiuncula and the Carmelite Scapular, and the prelates who conducted the Roman churches were not likely to be behind in the general scramble for a portion of the spiritual treasure.
