St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Cathedral (Pittsburgh) → Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, Pittsburgh – Per https://issuu.com/archpitt/docs/bcwol_vol61_no06_01may16 inter alia, which would also arguably better satisfy WP:CONCISE as well as MOS:SAINTS, per WP:CONSISTENCY with Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran, as recently emphasised by Talk:Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran.

 * Oppose. American English uses "St.", so as this church is in America that would be the common name as used on its own website. And we also use the parenthesised disambiguator for American articles. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:30, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. As Necrothesp says above "St." is common usage in the United States. Plus articles in the United States generally list the city (and state where appropriate) in the title in parenthesis and not after a comma. Farragutful (talk) 15:41, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

 * It is called St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Cathedral on its own website and as stated above, we use parenthetical disambiguators for buildings in North America. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:41, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
