Oh, I want to go back to Rome so badly! I just watched this recent report (no new news, but new video), and it seems the Church has exposed St. Paul’s sarcophagus more fully, and pilgrims are able to go down into the confessio to pray in front of the tomb.

Also, expect another very cool update along these lines (relics of apostles and martyrs) very soon! I’m struggling through this last paper.
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. —Galatians 6:9 (ESV)
