Talk:List of cathedrals

Not sure about the name "Cathédrale Notre-Dame" (in Strasbourg). That's definitely the usual name, yet it's ambiguous - there seems to be many "Notre-Dame" cathedrals in France... OlivierM 19:54, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- It's merely a question of who they're consecrated to. Wetman 07:42, 14 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Names
What to do about naming? For example, the "St Louis Cathedral" is the common name, but the official name is (I believe) "The Cathedral Basilica of St Louis". This is only a list of links, so it might be cluttered to list both, so, which is preferable ?
Not every big church is a cathedral. A cathedral is the seat of a bishop. That is why St. Peter's is technically a basilica, I believe. The cathedral of Rome is Saint John Lateran.
So there are as many cathedrals as there are bishops. There are Anglican cathedrals but no Baptist cathedrals. This list would be more focused and useful if it were Cathedrals of outstanding architectural merit or suchlike (IMO)... Wetman 07:42, 14 Jan 2004 (UTC)
