Two cathedrals

[edit]

Can someone explain why Istanbul has two RC cathedrals? Does it have two bishops? Does it have one bishop who has thrones in two churches? Marnanel (talk) 21:18, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to Catholic Hierarchy, there Istanbul has no Latin-rite bishop at all. There's a Latin-rite Vicariate Apostolic of Istanbul, Byzantine-rite Apostolic Exarchate of Istanbul, and Armenian-rite Archeparchy of Istanbul. St. Anthony's is clearly neither Armenian nor Byzantine, so it's most likely not a cathedral. It's not uncommon that people mistakenly use the word "cathedral" to refer to any large church though. I suppose the article should be moved to St. Anthony of Padua Church or something similar. — Kpalion(talk) 19:24, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

[edit]

St. Anthony of Padua CathedralSt. Anthony of Padua Church in Istanbul — As discussed above, there seems to be no evidence that this is a cathedral, or that Istanbul has a Roman Catholic cathedral at all. It might be (though I have no sources whatsoever) that this is a basilica, in which case St. Anthony of Padua Basilica in Istanbul could be an option too. — Kpalion(talk) 19:29, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Done, since there were no objections. Jafeluv (talk) 10:54, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The St. Anthony of Padua Church page still had sentences referring to it as a cathedral; there was commentary about it on an Istanbul travel site (that Wikipedia had it wrong). All references I could find indicate that it is a minor basilica; the only cathedral in Istanbul is the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit. I made relevant changes to the text and added a reference.
