Cathedrals are pretty much large churches. They are usually the primary church in the Diocese, where the Bishop presides.

A Cathedral is the chief church of a diocese, in which the bishop has his throne (cathedra) and close to which is his residence; it is, properly speaking, the bishop's church, wherein he presides, teaches, and conducts worship for the whole Christian community. The word is derived from the Greek kathedra through the Latin cathedra, throne, elevated seat.
A Church is a building with a Parish Priest and hold no authority over anyone other than the members.
Both, in essence serve the same purpose - to teach the Word of God, and I do not prefer one over the other.

cathedrals are different from churches because they have the head of the churches at that location. Churches have priests. Cathedrals have someone that the pope appointed I believe.I think the Bishop. I can' t remember exactly but it is something like that.

I don' think it is about buildings but about his prescience.
