Cathedral Made Out Of Human Remains

5. A church to which other diocesan cathedral churches of a province are suffragan is a "metropolitan cathedral".
6. A church under which are ranged metropolitical churches and their provinces is a "primatial cathedral".
7. A church to which primatial, metropolitical, and cathedral churches alike owe allegiance is a "patriarchal cathedral".
The removal of a bishop's cathedra from a church deprives that church of its cathedral dignity, although often the name is retained in popular use, as for example at Antwerp, which was deprived of its bishop at the French Revolution as well as former cathedrals acquired by the Presbyterian Church of Scotland (which lacks episcopal structure). Technically, such churches are proto-cathedrals.
