Talk:List of cathedrals in the United States

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you are writing an article about one of these cathedrals, please consider using the name of the city in the title of the article. Many of them have very common names (St. Paul's, for instance) and may be easily confused. Remember also, that this is a global encyclopedia. Given that Roman Catholicism and Anglicanism exist on every continent, there may well be duplicates of many of these cathedral names in other countries. Thank you!

[edit] Adding...

Added "Christ Church Catherdral" Under Alabama (Mobile). It is the first US church to go through the process of trasitioning from church to catherdral in thirty years.

Your addition is appreciated, although that claim is not true. The Episcopal cathedrals for the dioceses of Western North Carolina and Oregon have gained that status in the last fifteen years. The Roman Catholic cathedrals in Venice and Palm Beach, Florida, were elevated when those dioceses were created in the late 1980s. Also, the word "Anglican" can be a bit confusing for an American cathedral. If it is not part of ECUSA, please specify with which Anglican group it is affiliated. Thanks!

[edit] St. Matthew's

The proper name of the Washington D.C. cathedral is "The Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle" not "St. Matthew's Cathedral," although the latter is a common nickname. We should list under the official name, however, and I've reverted accordingly. Essjay · talk 06:03, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cathedral of Hope

The link under Texas for Cathedral of Hope does not link to a church in Texas --Eddylyons 01:24, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I deleted the link. --Eddylyons 18:47, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cathedral of Learning?

What about secular institutions that are called cathedrals such as the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_Saint_Paul_in_Pittsburgh —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.17.181.229 (talk) 03:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

They're not really cathedrals. Tb (talk) 03:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
