Picture[edit]

Likewise, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles preaches from his cathedra in the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels.

I removed this image, as it offered no information not better presented in the image of the Chicago Archbishop's cathedra. --Wetman 03:15, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I agree with the move. --Gerald Farinas 03:24, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Episcopal Cathedrae[edit]

This article presents a good idea of what a Catholic cathedra is and where it is placed, but some churches also have Bishops with cathedrae, namely those in the Aglican Communion. Being Catholic, I have no idea what the customs are in these churches, but does anyone else know? Donbas 00:35, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology[edit]

Can we have some discussion about the etymology of the word?

My understanding of the word is that it is definitely Greek in origin and that it's origin is from the Latin only in the sense that English borrowed the word from Latin which borrowed it unmodified from Greek (excepting of course the transliteration). I'm no etymologist but it seems to be that saying that it's origin is Latin is like saying that "Armageddon" is Greek in origin instead of Hebrew.

Any information that you can give me would be appreciated. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 146.186.159.215 (talk) 17:26, 15 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Since you admit you're "no etymologist" why are you inflicting your own, self-admittedly ill-informed "understanding" on this article? Please learn something about the similarity between Indo-European languages -- a cognate is not an etymology. Since this is about an English word, the origin of it in the Latin is the correct reference.HarvardOxon 20:36, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The question of a word originally Greek that comes into English from Latin is often quite interesting. It would help us clarify, for example, the plural of the word octopus if we could decide if it is, for us English-speakers, a Latin or a Greek word. It has nothing to do with "cognate". And such questions are especially interesting and welcome on the talk page of a Wiki article, which is not at all the same as the article itself.

Heraldry[edit]

Use in heraldry should be mentioned. --Daniel C. Boyer (talk) 17:27, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Layout[edit]

There are too many images in this article (see bottom). Would anyone be opposed to paring them down or reorganizing them in some way? Gallery's are usually frowned upon, but I'd rather have a gallery than a jumbled mess. -- nsaum75 ^{!Dígame¡‎} 16:03, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"quire"[edit]

Is there a particular reason to use the alternative (and obscure) spelling "quire" with reference to the choir of Canterbury? E.g. is that how it is always spelled in this particular case? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 18:37, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

TWO definitions. Not clear enough in lead![edit]

It should be made clear from the start that it has TWO meanings:

a piece of furniture
the residential town and administrative capital of a bishopric, or bishop's sea. Arminden (talk) 12:44, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
