Denomination

The article states that this is a Roman Catholic church however it was constructed & consecrated as an Anglican church by the Church of England and control was subsequently given to the Church of Ceylon. It currently remains under the control of the Church of Ceylon (which is an Anglican church) so I can not see how it can be a Roman Catholic church as the article's creator has listed as being. Also Anglican church services are not conducted in Latin yet the article states the services are Latin rites - how can that be? The article is also included in the category Category:Roman Catholic churches in Sri Lanka. Dan arndt (talk) 06:20, 19 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
