单词 | titular church |
释义 | > as lemmastitular church 4. Roman Catholic Church. Designating any of the churches in Rome to which a cardinal priest is assigned. Chiefly in titular church. Cf. titulus n. 1, title n. 7.Very early Christian meeting places in the city of Rome were called tituli, probably because they were known by the name of the individual who possessed the titulus (legal ownership) of them. Later, when this original meaning was no longer remembered, certain prominent churches, many of which were indeed the most ancient in the city, were assigned to cardinals, who took their titles from the dedications of the churches.
