Strange as it may seem for the capital city of a Catholic country, there is actually no Catholic cathedral in Dublin. Dublin has two cathedrals, both of which are Protestant. St. Patrick's Cathedral is the national cathedral and Christchurch Cathedral is the city cathedral. When Henry VIII brought his form of Protestantism to Ireland the status of the cathedrals changed. Since then the city cathedral has not been taken back into Catholic ownership. What Dublin does have is St. Mary's pro-Cathedral, which is Catholic. It holds the title "pro-Cathedral", signifying it does not have full cathedral status for the city, as that still resides with Christchurch Cathedral.
