| a cathedral is the church within a Catholic diocese that contains the throne (cathedra) of the Bishop who oversees that diocese. While cathedrals tend to be large, every large church is NOT a cathedral. An Italian cathedral is sometimes referred to as a duomo. Although it sounds like the word dome--and even though many cathedrals have domes--the word itself is from the Latin domus, meaning "house." In this case, the term refers to the house of God. |
