  • 3. Basilica Catherine of Alexandria Braniewo
    This is a complete list of basilicas of the Roman Catholic Church. A basilica is a church with certain privileges conferred on it by the Pope. Not all churches with basilica in their title actually have the ecclesiastical status, which can lead to confusion, since it is also an architectural term for a church-building style. In the 18th century, the term took on a canonical sense, unrelated to this architectural style. Basilicas in this canonical sense are divided into major and minor basilicas. Today only four, all in the Diocese of Rome, are classified as major basilicas: the major basilicas of St John Lateran, St Peter, St Paul outside the Walls, and St Mary Major. The other canonical basilicas are minor basilicas. By canon law no Catholic church can be honoured with the title of basili...

  • 5. Church of St. Peter and St. Paul Reszel
    Roman Marian churches are religious buildings dedicated to the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary. These churches were built throughout the history of the Catholic Church, and today they can be found on every continent including Antarctica. The history of Marian church architecture tells the unfolding story of the development of Roman Catholic Mariology. The construction and dedication of Marian churches is often indicative of the Mariological trends within a period, such as a papal reign. For instance, the 1955 rededication by Pope Pius XII of the church of Saint James the Great in Montreal, with the new title Mary, Queen of the World, Cathedral, was a reflection of his being called the most Marian pope. A year earlier, Pope Pius XII had proclaimed that title for the Virgin Mary in his...
