In cathedrals which were also parish churches, however, especially the newly created cathedrals of the 19th and 20th centuries, the senior priest (who was also the parish priest) continued to be known as the provost.

It is not a true and legal possession. Vattel, b. 1. § 81. p. 37. and § 209. b. 2. § 97.
