Well, except for the Hagia Sophia, which was converted into a mosque (forcibly, may I add) many centuries ago.

The style is not important, actually. The word "cathedral" comes from the Latin word "cathedra," which means "chair" in English. That is because the bishop's chair - or seat - is actually at that church, meaning that he is the permanent bishop of that geographical diocese. If you go into a Catholic cathedral, you will see an actual chair where the bishop of that diocese sits when he is there. Currently it is usually on the congregation's left, behind the lectern that used to be known as the "Gospel side" of the altar. I assume the same is true for Anglicans.

I appreciate this post, thanks.

And the building behind the posters is not the cathedral.

Not the most beautiful one in London, though I believe it was more recently built (which would explain that).

I used to walk by here regularly when I lived in London. It infuriates me to see these goons there. They have NO right to be acting like this in England. Very frustrating.

Many of England's historic cathedrals were originally Catholic until Henry VIII "nationalized" them.
