cathedral: from the latin: cathedra; from the greek for 'seat'(kathedra) or 'bench'; or from 'kata' meaning 'down' and 'hedra' meaning "chair, base or seat". In the christian tradition it is the seat of a bishop within an episcopal hierarchy (i.e. Roman, Anglican, Orthodox, Lutheran, Methodist, (et al).
Whether the following is true or not, from what I understand from a recent broadcast on PBS about Cathedrals, it does not matter the size or configuration of the building, a cathedral is where the bishop sits. It can be a little store front underneath the elevated... if that is where you bishop's pulpit is... it's a cathedral.

Cool shot of Beartown. I've been close to it many times but never stopped to check it out. Looks great!
