Cathedral
the cathedral city is the seat of the bishop of the diocese, and his throne is placed in the cathedral church, which is the parish church of the whole diocese. The distinction between cathedral and collegiate churches consists principally in the see of the bishop being at the former. The governing body of a Cathedral is called the dean and chapter. St. Peter's, at Rome, is unequaled in magnitude and splendor by any other Christian fa fane in the world.
The Cathedral of St. John the Divine (P. E.), in New York, will, when completed, be the most ambitious structure of the kind on this continent .
