medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture From: Jim Bugslag <[log in to unmask]> > Besides the use of the word "basilica" as a general architectural type, it came to be used in a highly technical manner by the Catholic Church as a designation for a category of church.... a very important church of some sort.
