Oh, I have. Google is my best friend for finding stuff online. Finding it isn't the problem. The problem is none of the sources agree (as I listed in my original post, 4 major sources are totally different). I was hoping someone with personal experience of going there on a Sunday could let me know.

I was in Rome last year and visited this beautiful church. As I recall it is open on Sunday morning for mass but not for tourists. Once morning masses are over, I think the doors are locked. If you haven't checked to see if the church has a website, you might try that for the mass schedule.

Wish I was going! The fact that every guide lists different hours might say more about the Italian way of changing hours, often frequently (and requiring the visitor to be flexible), than about the reliability of the authors. Depending on when the hours were recorded for each book, some or all--or none!--could have been right when they went to press. Always best to get into town and ask your hotel to confirm the hours, and for your most desired sites, schedule a backup day/time just in case your preferred day/time just doesn't work.

As I recall, the Rick Steves hours are correct, and as Barbara mentioned, they open up briefly for mass on Sunday but not for tourists. But, of course, that all could have changed...
