Mastroianni and Hart are ignorant of an important fact, as are so many other people. The largest church in the world — the one in Vatican City — is NOT a “cathedral.” It is the BASILICA of St. Peter. A cathedral is the home church of a bishop — and the cathedral of the Bishop of Rome (the Pope) is NOT St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. Rather, it is the Cathedral of St. John Lateran (in Rome).
