Why is Sacre Coeur called a basilica and not a cathedral?
A church may be called a basilica because of a particular event (miracle, pilgrimage) or because there are relics in it. The name is largely honorific and the right to be called basilica is given by the Pope. A church may be called a cathedral when it is the seat of the diocese (and hence headed by a bishop), which is not the case for the basilica of the Sacré-Coeur.
