I.   Introductory provisions

A Basilica is a large Temple representing the highest court and sanctuary of a whole region for instruction, administration and sacred ceremony by competent authority of a particular Religion or Cult. Hence, a Basilica is also usually the site of a See.

The term Basilica is equivalent to the term Cathedral.

As the Society of One Heaven is the First See, the one See and only true Holy See, all lesser See and Basilica are by default the property of One Heaven and subject to the authority of One Heaven.
