    		A cathedral is a church that is the seat of a bishop (the word comes from the Latin word for seat).
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral

    Chapels may be non-denominational; they may refer to a specific area within a larger church; or they may be synonymous with "church".
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapel

    Church is generally a Christian congregation or house of worship.
