Chapel Cathedral
what are the differences of church, chapel ,cathedral and abbey?
In Catholicism:
The Church is:
+ The People that God gathers in the whole world
+ The local diocese
+ The liturgical assembly (at Mass or other service)
A church is a building where “the” Church comes together to worship God.
A chapel, or oratory, is a space dedicated to the celebration of services, particularly Mass, which is not a parish church.
A cathedral is a church which serves as the central church of a diocese, and thus as a bishop’s seat.
An abbey is a Christian monastery or convent that is lead by an Abbot or an Abbess. A church or chapel would be part of the abbey.
With love in Christ.
