How is cathedral used?

Catholic AnswerAs the name implies, the Cathedral is the church in which the cathedra is housed. Cathedra is just the Latin word for stool, seat, chair, or throne. In the Catholic usage, it is used to refer to the Bishop's throne in his own church. The cathedra thus gives its name to the entire church, or, in English, a Cathedral. Thus the primary purpose of a Cathedral is the same as any other Church: to house God in the Blessed Sacrament, to provide a sanctified venue for the celebration of the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and to provide a place for the people to participate in it. The difference in a Cathedral is that it is the particular church which is the Bishop's home parish, it houses his cathedra, and it is the venue, normally, for services reserved for the Bishop such as ordinations.
