Roman Catholic AnswerA Cathedral is a particular Church in every diocese that is the Bishop's Church, it takes its name because of the Cathedra which is in that Church. A Cathedra is a bishop's throne. A abbey is the church of a monastery that is headed by an abbot or abbess. It should be obvious from whence it takes its name.
