For completeness, St. John Lateran is also called "Arcibasilica" (Archbasilica). And it is also a "basilica papale" (papal basilica) like all major basilicas in Rome, and yes, it is the seat of the bishop of Rome, hence the Roman cathedral. The 6 papal basilicas are the 4 major basilicas in Rome plus 2 minor basilicas in Assisi. > You can't tell a cathedral from any other big church by appearance > from the outside.

'Chapel' in this sense denotes a > worship space inside a larger building. agreed, there are 2 uses in language for "chapel", as part of a church building and not, but the term "building=chapel" can only refer to those that are not a building part of a church (because of the building key used).

We also do not have to add the hierarchy, it is sufficient to add the rank as written on the thing, it is not difficult, you just have to copy. Cheers, Martin
