"I agree with everything  and cannot see why a, dare I say it. fundamental fact (ie that the Cathedral's origins are pre-Reformation and that the Cathedral was built at a time when the church in England had its allegiance to Rome) should be completely ignored. I am not pushing an agenda here but I think there is something arrogant and dismissive about the use of the words ""crowbarring of a not very pivotal fact"" as used by one of the 'editors' in the section above this. I think, 'now Anglican' is a good compromise in that it accurately defines the Cathedral's current status but also suggests (without labouring the point) that this was not always the case. Enough information, I would venture to say, for an interested reader to find out more - should they choose or desire to do so.
