Pontificale simply calls them ‘Churches’ dedicated in Saints’ honor and name—without Bellarmino’s temple/basilica split
The Pontificale skips temple/basilica jargon and simply consecrates ‘Churches’ in Saints’ honor and name.
Litanies name the title Saint; the bishop asks God to purify the church in that Saint’s memory.
Latin
XVII. Caeterum Pontificale Romanum de aedium sacrarum dedicatione sive consecratione agens, nec templi, nec basilicae nomine eas designat, sed simpliciter Ecclesias vocat, ac sub ea appellatione dicit eas in honore & nomine Sanctorum dedicari. Nam pag. 173. editionis Parisiensis anni 1615. Jubet ut in litaniis quae in ejusmodi solemni dedicatione recitari solent, suo loco ibi nominetur Sanctus ille in cujus honore & nomine Ecclesia dedicatur. Et postea Pontifex saepius Deum rogat ut Ecclesiam quam consecrat, velit in memoriam hujus vel illius Sancti purificare; & benedicere.
