Prevost, and cf. prevost.
I. In ecclesiastical and scholastic use.

The head or president of a chapter, or of a community of religious persons; in conventual bodies properly the official next in rank to the abbot, = prior 1 (in quot. c 1375 the prioress of a body of nuns); also the chief dignitary of a cathedral or collegiate church, corresponding to the existing dean
A jesli chodzi o "archikatedrę", to zauważcie, że wszystkie strony googla z wyrazem "archicathedral" są albo polskie, albo litewskie i tp. W żadnym angielskim slowniku nie znalazłam. Czyzby to był nasz wkład w język angielski?

A może powinno być archcathedral - tak jak archbishop, archdiocese, archduke etc.? Ale tego też nie znalazłam. Więc chyba najwłaściwsze jest po prostu cathedral. Britannica podaje co następuje:
CATHEDRAL: in Christian churches that have an episcopal form of church government, the church in which a residential bishop has his official seat or throne, the cathedra. Cathedral churches are of different degrees of dignity. There are cathedral churches of simple diocesan bishops, of archbishops or metropolitans, of primates, patriarchs, and, in the Roman Catholic Church, of the pope.\"
Więc chyba raczej: provost of the cathedral chapter [ewentualnie z dodatkiem \"in (a, the) archdiocese\"]
