Cheri, I totally disagree.. They can do one of two things:
1. change the filter name from Freguesia to Paróquia and then change all the names to the name of the catholic parish. 2. keep the current filter as 'Freguesia', but then they do have to be consistent in using the name of the civil parish. Which means that São Miguel -> Nordeste -> São Jorge should actually be renamed from São Jorge to Nordeste, as that's the name of the civil parish. As most maps will reflect the name of the civil parish at best, I'd vote for the 2nd one. True, the only reason they can get away with it is the fact that in 1911, when the civil parishes were cretead, they were exactly the same area as the catholic parishes. In the meantime, several civil parishes were created by splitting a previous one. And in mainland Portugal they've just eliminated about 1/3 of the 4000+ civil parishes by merging many of them. Do note that I noted down the name of the patron saint in my http://tombo.pt site, so if you're ever confused which church is what you might get away with doing a search for 'patron saint' + municipality. One of these days, I'll try to improve the search to provide better per-field faceted search.
