Sorry if this has been discussed before. From the wiki (https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Count,_King_and_Robber#2._Placing_a_meeple_in_the_City_of_Carcassonne):
You can only place your Abbot in the cathedral in Carcassonne.
This sentence is not present in the paper rules I have and it seems contradicted by the image the game itself presents to show a move from the City Cathedral to a monastery or shrine, that is this one, showing a meeple and not an abbott being deployed to a monastery:

Can I have more info on this?

You are missing the point. Other meeples can also go in the Cathedral in the City, but the Abbot can only go in the Cathedral, since the features it can claim are only religious institutions (e.g., Monasteries, Gardens, Shrines). Therefore, the Abbot is restricted to the Cathedral, whereas other meeples can go elsewhere in the City (some with their own restrictions). A longer list of restrictions is listed later on the page:
The following figures can be placed in a district of the city of Carcassonne:
Normal meeple, the standard option (Base game)
Abbot, only in the cathedral (Base game - The Abbot)
Large meeple (Exp. 1 - Inns and Cathedrals)
Wagon, not in the market (Exp. 5 - Abbey and the Mayor)
Mayor, only in the castle (Exp. 5 - Abbey and the Mayor)
Ringmaster (Exp. 10 - Under the Big Top)
Phantom (The Phantom)
The reason the Abbot is called out twice is because it is included in the base game, so requires immediate clarification. The others are expansion components, so they are only clarified in their own expansions.

You are missing the point.
I understand, I was lost in translation. Thanks for the clarification! Just one thought: wouldn't
You can place your Abbot only in the cathedral in Carcassonne.
be better than
You can only place your Abbot in the cathedral in Carcassonne.
then?

Ths sentence was included by ZMG in their rules. In other editions, you have this as part of the interactions of the expansion with others (see page 6).
Don't know why you don't like the wording they chose... >:D
