I have proposed a long time ago a tag religious_rank which was thought for example as a modifier for places of worship and monsteries. It’s not particularly popular, but it could be suitable for finer distinctions: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/religious_rank (It’s currently not very likely we will map religious divisions/districts and represent the whole hierarchy of the catholic church (or others, but they are the biggest and likely most organized/differentiated) so that we could add churches as seat of a bishop to a relation). Additionally, I believe (not completely sure), that cathedrals might keep their title after a reorganization of the administrative district (so there could be 2 cathedrals for one bishop in some cases). And there are lower titles of churches, like collegiate churches, parish churches, etc, which are still more important than “ordinary” churches. Cheers Martin
