they should have called it parliament, not cathedral. BBC don't know the meaning of the word cathedral, or was this intentional to trigger some kind of reaction from religious groups.

I've heard the term "Cathedral" used quite often to describe massive enclosed spaces, especially if the interior surface is stony or hard.

It's a favourite in the caving community to describe very large, well, cathedrals in cave systems.
