| | Cathedral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A cathedral is a Christian church building, specifically of a denomination with an episcopal hierarchy, such as the Anglican, Catholic and some Lutheran churches, which serves as the central church of a diocese, and thus as a bishop's seat. | | | In England the dean was the head of all the secular cathedral churches, and was originally elected by the chapter and confirmed in office by the bishop. | | | The removal of a bishop's cathedra from a church deprives that church of its cathedral dignity, although often the name clings in common speech, as for example at Antwerp, which was deprived of its bishop at the French Revolution. |

| | The very word "Cathedral" comes from the Latin word, "cathedra," which means "chair." The Bishop's Chair is a symbol of his teaching office and pastoral authority in the Diocese, and a sign also of the unity of believers in the faith that the Bishop or Archbishop proclaims as shepherd of the Lord's flock. | | | It is in the tradition and practice of the Catholic Church to locate the Cathedral Church in the heart of the downtown, civic center of the city. | | | Every Diocese and Archdiocese must have a "Mother Church," a Cathedral Church, which is the official seat of the Bishop or Archbishop. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Cathedral |
| | This unity of residence is implied by the unity of headship and direction, and canonists add that the unity of the mystical marriage of the bishop with his church signifies the unity of his spiritual spouse. | | | It is not only the bishop's right and duty to control the administration of the cathedral by exacting financial reports, as in the case of all the churches and ecclesiastical institutions of the diocese; in the administration of the cathedral he participates personally and intervenes directly. | | | In order that all the clergy may, in a way, belong to the cathedral, the obligation is imposed upon them of celebrating the two feasts proper to the cathedral, it's patronal feast and the anniversary of its dedication, just as they would observe these feasts in their own particular churches. |
