	cathedral (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A '''cathedral''' is a Christian church building, specifically of a denomination with an episcopal hierarchy (such as the Roman Catholic Church or the Anglican churches), which serves as the central church of a bishopric.
		In view of this, canon lawyers sometimes speak of the cathedral church as the one church of the diocese, and all others are deemed chapels in their relation to it.
		The removal of a bishop's ''cathedra'' from a church deprives that church of its cathedral dignity, although often the name clings in common speech, as for example at Antwerp, which was deprived of its bishop at the French Revolution.

		The height of the steeples were sometimes twice or three times the nave, even in churches built in the early years of the 19th century, but because the steeple rose to a point, often above several elaborate and successively smaller tiers, it did not have the mass of the square towers of later years.

		Instead of purchasing another stone, that the height of the tallest church may be increased by just one foot, I challenge the church and all the clergy, that the money goes to buying ten meals, that the unfortunate, neglected, and abandoned may have food for today.
		I challenge the church to do this: to treat the world as its cathedral and spread the wealth, and to abandon its current doctrine, that the world is its cemetery, where things unwanted are to be placed.
		I challenge the churches this: that no injustice will be overlooked, that there should be a light for those who must presside in the dark, that cruelty and malice are forever to be considered a weakness and not a strength, a vice and not a virtue.
