Lists Of Cathedrals
This is a list of cathedrals by country, including both actual cathedrals (seats of bishops in episcopal denominations, such as Catholicism, Anglicanism, and Orthodoxy) and a few prominent churches from non-episcopal denominations commonly referred to as "cathedral", usually having formerly acquired that status. As of 2011, the Catholic Church had 3,068 churches of cathedral and co-cathedral status around the world, predominantly in countries with a significant Roman Catholic population: Italy (357), Brazil (280), United States (207), India (156), France (103), Mexico (98), Spain (87), Philippines (87), Colombia (83), Canada (74) and Argentina (72).

Famous quotes containing the words lists of and/or lists:
“Behold then Septimus Dodge returning to Dodge-town victorious. Not crowned with laurel, it is true, but wreathed in lists of things he has seen and sucked dry. Seen and sucked dry, you know: Venus de Milo, the Rhine or the Coloseum: swallowed like so many clams, and left the shells.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Most of our platitudes notwithstanding, self-deception remains the most difficult deception. The tricks that work on others count for nothing in that very well-lit back alley where one keeps assignations with oneself: no winning smiles will do here, no prettily drawn lists of good intentions.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
