Talk:Church of St. Anthony of Padua, Istanbul

Two cathedrals
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)
 * 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)

Requested move
St. Anthony of Padua Cathedral → St. Anthony of Padua Church in Istanbul &mdash; 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)
 * ✅, since there were no objections. Jafeluv (talk) 10:54, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

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.
