Talk:oratory

RFV discussion: December 2022–January 2023
Sense 4: "A large Roman Catholic church." I tentatively tagged this as "by extension" after adding the more standard Catholic senses, which had been missing before (a chapel that isn't a parish church, distinct from sense 1 in that they're still public, and a church run by the capital-O Oratory), but I can't find any dictionaries that define it specifically as a big one. Given the image at the entry I feel like this definition was probably just a misinterpretation from the Oratory's churches in the UK generally being fairly lavish, but maybe it's a legitimate semantic development. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 02:12, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
