The main audience of monasteries is the place where the Catholic Church specially trains priests.

The church is a place to provide activities for living believers.

2. The audience is different.

Churches, especially those in cities, are public buildings belonging to citizens; Monastery is a place where monks stay and practice. It is quiet and ordinary people will not go in.

The church is funded by the city's financial resources (that is, citizens' taxes) and hired professional architects and craftsmen to build it. It is a gathering place for citizens to hold religious ceremonies, similar to a modern auditorium, and also a secular place where people come and go.

3. They are classified differently.

Monastery:

The institution where Catholics, Orthodox Christians and others become monks and monks is called a monastery.

Catholic institutions that train priests are called theological seminaries.

Church:

Catholic church buildings are divided into four floors:

Chapel/Chapel: There is a resident pastor/pastor.

Church/Chapel: It is usually the location of the missionary area/pastoral area, with a priest/priest in charge, and churches with many members/members even have deacons/assistants.

Cathedral: The bishop of the parish is stationed on the ground.

Hall: also known as the temple, it is usually the seat of the archbishop/archbishop, or the place where special religious acts take place, such as Luther and Vadim. Only Catholicism has set this level.

4. Different internal buildings

The architectural style of the monastery will be a lot serious and depressing, and it may be very tall, but the decoration inside is much less, and it is absolutely not allowed to build a statue of Christ. Because Christians only recognize one god, that is, the Lord God, others are made by people, and they think that they are all made by people themselves in pursuit of spiritual comfort.

Most churches have idols.
