Well, in Frankfurt this church is called "der Dom" (which of course means the cathedral) but it has to be clear that it never was seat of a bishop. Adornix ( talk) 19:04, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
I quote the article Cathedral: "As cathedrals are often particularly impressive edifices, the term "cathedral" is often applied colloquially to any large and impressive church, regardless of whether it functions as a cathedral, such as the Crystal Cathedral in California or the Arctic Cathedral in Tromsø, Norway". There is St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, officially regarded as a cathedral even though it is not the seat of a Bishop, and St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, which was only the seat of a bishop for a fairly limited period in its history.

I have reverted the lead changes for several reasons. First of all, the introduction sentence should always be a general definition of the topic, see WP:LEADSENTENCE. It should not be an exclusive description of "what the topic is not". Secondly the introduction sentence should, whenever possible, use the bolded page title as subject. Thirdly a lengthy analysis of the naming problem to fill up the entire first paragraph is undue WP:WEIGHT for this relatively minor aspect. Please see MOS:LEAD for additional information. The terminology is sufficiently mentioned in the article's second paragraph, and in the fourth paragraph of cathedral as main article. GermanJoe ( talk) 13:09, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
Is it really useful to anyone to have a pin indicating the cathedral's location within Hesse? If there's no location map for Frankfurt am Main, it seems to me the map should be removed. - Themightyquill ( talk) 18:29, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
