What is significance of a parish church being classified as an Oratory? Does this give it special status in the Bishops eyes? Is it a more public church? The service I attended was not unlike any other service, and the bulletin seems to be like that of any other parish. Any help would be appreciated, I must be confused as to the meaning of an Oratory and the Catholic Encyclopedia definition didn’t shed much light on it.
 
Thats what I read too, but it functions as a parish, they just call it an oratory. Maybe its only tradition at this point.
