What are the differences between catedral y iglesia?

Question

Anyone can give me two pictures of them?

PumpkinCalabaza's answer is correct: a cathedral is the church where the bishop has his throne. All cathedrals are churches. Not all churches are cathedrals. - Jubilado, Oct 23, 2013

As regards pictures: If you can find a picture of the "sanctuary" of a cathedral, you will see a throne or large chair which is where the bishop sits while presiding over a service. - Jubilado, Oct 23, 2013

Answer 1

Catedral = cathedral. A cathedral is a very big church that contains the seat of a bishop (obispo) and is the center of a diocese, which is the area under the jurisdiction of a particular bishop in the Catholic church. Here is an inside and outside view of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York.

Iglesia = church. This can refer to any kind of church. All of the following are churches (iglesias).

well done, I need not have taken the trouble to find Salsibury Cathedral, although it is very beautiful - annierats, Oct 23, 2013

Answer 2

Exactly the same as in English.

Almost every village has a parish church. Cathedrals are important , large churches, hence we have cathedral cities.

Somebody who knows about clergy can explain about how the church is organised, this is quite a large question, and I am sure Wikipedia will give detailed answer. Photos showsSalisbury Cathedral, England, a stunning building and the church in a small Swedish town, Mariefred.

Answer 3

I did before I post this question. What I can see are all pictures of churches, and no differences to me.

Sorry, you're disappointed. - Raja-jani, Oct 23, 2013

Answer 4

Do an internet search for "picture of cathedral" and "picture of church." By the way, I did before answering your question. Trust me you will see many more than two pictures.
