the "Cathedral Archpriest" is the [Cathedral/chapter?] Dean??
where's *that* coming from?
>(In some cities - e.g. Chartres... - the Dean of the urban parishes
was called Archpriest to avoid confusion with the Cathedral Dean,
whereas they are Rural Deans elsewhere in the diocese.)
do you happen to have a citation for the Chartres instance, JB?
