Pro - cathedrals?

edit

The pictures added all have the classic Gothic architecture look to them. Out here in the West, these ordinary churches look like pro - cathedrals or a newly formed/erected cathedral. Pro - cathedral shows up in some diocesan histories. I wonder if churches like this influenced other parts of the country? If so, I wonder if that could be incorporated into the article without involving original research. I think pro - cathedral is a term. A good example is St. Joseph Church in Marysville, CA. It has the same type look but unfortunately does not have a article here. It is mentioned in this article, Roman Catholic Diocese of Grass Valley, and yes Pro-cathedral is a term and article here.--Morenooso (talk) 17:31, 17 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

They've never been close to this rank — despite their architecture, the churches (except for Immaculate Conception, St. Joseph's [Wapakoneta], and Holy Rosary, which are in small cities) are all in tiny villages or out in the countryside. All of these churches are on the northern edge of the Cincinnati Archdiocese (directly, as well as indirectly; there's no bishop between the archbishop of Cincinnati and these parishes), which has always had its cathedral in Cincinnati, in the southwestern corner of the archdiocese.

While they might not have been, it seems that their influence was shaped people moving westward during the 1850s. Just a thought. . . --Morenooso (talk) 20:13, 17 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
