Some large churches were cathedrals, but the fact that a church was large did not make it a cathedral. The thing that made it a cathedral was that it was the church of a bishop. Westminster Abbey was not a cathedral, except for a period of about ten years when a bishop was presiding there.


How do you address a Mormon bishop and his wife?

If you are not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), a Mormon bishop will not be offended if you call him by his first name or Mr. (last name). If you would like to, you may address him the way that his congregation would, by calling him Bishop (last name), such as Bishop Johnson. The same would go for his wife. You may call her by her first name or Mrs. (last name), but you may call her as the congregation would. All women in a Mormon congregation are addressed as Sister (last name). So, the way a congregation member might address them is "Bishop and Sister Johnson" or "Bishop Johnson and his wife Susan". But they will not be offended if you call them "Joe and Susan" or "Mr. and Mrs. Johnson". Outside of church settings, it is acceptable to use their names and not their religious titles.

What do Mormons call the person ahead of their church that teaches them?

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that Jesus Christ is the true head of their church and that all teaching comes from Him.The head of the entire worldwide church on earth is the President, who is considered a Prophet, Seer, and Revelator. The President of the Church is most often called "the Prophet". He is assisted by two counselors and Twelve Apostles.The person at the head of a congregation is the Bishop. However, most congregational teaching and preaching is not done by the Bishop, rather the members of the congregation rotate teaching and preaching responsibilities. A Mormon Bishop is more of an overseer of the congregation's operations and a personal counselor for individual members who need spiritual guidance, rather than a preacher.
