En Estados Unidos no hay religión oficial, ni confesionalismo, ni Iglesia de Estado, pero la religión tiene un peso superior a otros países occidentales. La ciudad más poblada de Missouri, Kansas City, es un ejemplo de diversidad religiosa, en cuyo escenario destaca una catedral católica. Estudiamos la evolución del edificio y modelo de gestión patrimonial a partir de una metodología cualitativa y de la realización de entrevistas a religiosos y gestores culturales. Un modelo que puede transformarse como consecuencia de los procesos de recentralización y gentrificación que están afectando al Power and Light District, el barrio donde ésta se localiza.In the United States, there is no official religion, no confessionalism and no Church representative of the State. Nonetheless, religion plays a more influential role than in other Western countries. The most populous city of Missouri is Kansas City, and it is an example of religious diversity, with a Catholic cathedral standing out against its urban background. This article examines the building’s evolution and model of heritage management, based on a qualitative methodology and interviews with religious figures and cultural managers. It is a model that might see changes as a result of the process of recentralization and gentrification currently undergone by the Power and Light District, the neighbourhood where the Cathedral is located.
