 Basilica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Basilica of St Francis Xavier, Dyersville, Iowa.
The Early Christian purpose-built basilica was the cathedral basilica of the bishop, on the model of the semi-public basilicas of the secular power elite, and its growth in size and importance signalled the gradual transfer of civic power into episcopal hands, under way in the fifth century.
St John Lateran is the cathedral of the Bishop of Rome: the Pope (who formerly held the title Patriarch of the West), and hence is the only one called archbasilica (full name Archbasilica of the Most Holy Saviour, St. John Baptist and St. John the Evangelist at the Lateran).

 Basilica of St. John Lateran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Basilica of St. John Lateran — in Italian, the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano — is the cathedral church of Rome and the official ecclesiastical seat of the Pope.
The palace basilica was converted and extended, eventually becoming the cathedral of Rome, the seat of the popes as patriarchs of Rome.
However, St. John Baptist and St. John the Evangelist are regarded as co-patrons of the Cathedral, the chief patron being Christ the Saviour himself, as the inscription in the entrance of the Basilica indicates, and as is tradition in the Patriachal Cathedrals.

 The History of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople
A meaningful event in patriarchal history was the opening by the Patriarch in 1844, on the island of Halki within the city of Constantinople, of a high level theological school for the education of Greek clergy.
The Patriarch's position was naturally affected by the number and condition of the Greek population of the city, that is by the parishioners immediately surrounding him.
It has been at times forbidden to the patriarchal clergy to go abroad in order to carry out their ecclesiastical duties, to repair patriarchal buildings, and, much worse, the historic theological school at Halki, the pride of the Patriarchate and bastion of its theological leadership, was in 1972 permanently closed by the Turks.
