Talk:List of Catholic basilicas

message: Just a note: the basilica in Baltimore is called the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, not the Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as some anonymous user would have it. See the Archdiocese's list of historical sites and the official website (overuses Flash). —No-One Jones 18:48, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: Corpus Christi Basilica in Manchester was designated as such by Pope Saint Pius X in the form of a Motu Proprio, on the 17th of May AD 1904. This was in response to the supplication made by Abbot Martin Francis Guedens O.Praem., Titular Abbot of Barlings. The original document (including the Pontiff's own handwriting and signature) is preserved in the archives of Corpus Christi Canonry in Miles Platting, Manchester. A scanned copy of this Papal Motu Proprio is available on request, more information being added to the Priory's website over time: http://www.praemonstratensis.co.uk/. The Pontiff later bestowed a chalice upon the Basilica at the Eucharistic Congress in 1907, presented by the Papal Representative to the Abbot. A "Pax Brede" from the Lord Bishop of Salford was also gifted to mark the Church's status. The Basilica is also mentioned in the offical histories of the Diocese. The Basilica was erected as a centre of Reparation and Eucharistic devotion, being the headquarters for the Archconfraternity of Reparation for the United Kingdom and Eire. 
More information is avaliable. The Basilica may be little known outside the north of England BUT is clearly the oldest in the country AND one of the oldest in the custody of the Canons Regular of Prémontré (it is also a Conventual and Parish Church).

:If this is the case, I would be interested to know why every list of basilicas I've seen lists St Chad's Birmingham and Downside Abbey as England's only Minor Basilicas. See here for example. I'm not disputing what you say, I'm just interested. -- Necrothesp 22:22, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

message: This recent version of the Barquisimeto article in Wikipedia refers to the church that holds the Divina Pastora as the "Basilica Minor". Spanish-language web sites that I have seen call it La Iglesia de Santa Rosa, located in the small village of Santa Rosa, near (in?) Barquisimeto. Should it be included in our list?

message: I had a conversation with a sister at the Diocese of Buffalo office today that cleared up confusion over on the Basilica Talk. Please see here (keep in mind it's from 1959). It turns out St. Adalbert's is affiliated with a major basilica - St. Peter's - which does not make it a basilica. In particular, "Of course, a church need not be a minor basilica in order to ask and receive affiliation; but in no case does this indulgence — affiliation with a major basilica endow the recipient church — as some have thought — with the title or rank of minor basilica" and "At times the title basilica has been applied to other American churches in addition to the twelve we list. If they merit the title, the papal document conferring the rank has at least never been published in the A.S.S. (1865-1908) or in the A.A.S. (1909- ). More likely the claim has been based on their obtaining indulgence-affiliation with one of the major basilicas. This is the case with St. John the Apostle and Evangelist in St. Louis and Old St. John's in Chicago, both affiliated with St. John Lateran; and St. Adalbert, Buffalo, affiliated with St. Peter's. As we have already pointed out, affiliation does not confer the rank or prerogatives of a minor basilica." So, St. Adalbert's is not a basilica, making St. Mary's in Minneapolis the first in the US. From what I hear, there has been some loss in the distinction between being affiliated with a major basilica and being conferred the title of minor basilica.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cryptic star (talk • contribs) 03:29, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

message: There are 28 basilicas in India, of which 23 are of the Latin rite, 4 are of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church and 1 is of the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church. The state of Kerala has 10 basilicas, including all 5 non-Roman Catholic basilicas while Tamil Nadu has 7 basilicas and Karnataka has 4. All the remaining basilicas are the only ones in their respective states or union territories. India is the country with the most basilicas in Asia.
