教区总教堂英文

church一般的教堂，镇立教堂，村镇教堂等等 cathedral大教堂，非常宏伟的那种，法国意大利多见，规模必须够大的教堂才叫cathedral. cathedral里面会有一个bishop，但church可能没有；cathedral的拉丁文cathedra指的就是bishop。 wiki的解释： A cathedral is a Christian church thatcontains the seat of a bishop. It is a religious building for worship,specifically of a denomination with an episcopal hierarchy, such as the RomanCatholic, Anglican, Orthodox and some Lutheran churches, which serves as abishop's seat, and thus as the central church of a diocese. 拓展： abbey指修道院，绝大多数情况下指男修道院 chapel礼拜堂，非常小的那种，一般驻有一位牧师
