Cathedral rite is called a rather representative urban rite which is usually dinstinct as a secular liturgy from monastic rites. There are various local forms which had been developed in different empires during the 4th century, since Christianity had been declared as a state religion. In consequence, a clergy had been needed to organize mass baptism as part of an urban rite celebrated in a town cathedral. Architectural features of those cathedrals are an Atrium with a huge fountain or closed baptisteries.
General characteristics of liturgy and architecture
editMost of the cathedral rites have been developed soon, during the 4th and 5th century, at the urban centres of empires, as soon as Christianity had been declared as a state religion. As far as the architecture also represented the secular power of a king or an emperor, cathedrals had been built and rebuilt frequently, while baptisteries usually belong to the oldest archeological layer of these monuments.
The two main centers of the Roman Empire, Constantinople and Rome, have only few sources before the 8th century, so that they have to be reconstructed on the base of early witnesses, as they have survived from a conservative periphery. This is especially true for the early centre of pilgrimage Jerusalem which is as well a key for a reconstruction of the Old Roman and the early cathedral rite of Constantinople.
Around the region of Palestinia there are other local centres like Alexandria, Antiochia, and Damascus. They had been rather opposed to Constantinople, while later local rites like the Carolingian of the Palatine Chapel, the Siculonorman of the Palermitan Palatine Chapel tried to imitate it. Thus, they did not only create something very unique in their queer way of imitation which often mixed different cultures by employing their experts, they also expressed clearly a certain diplomatic attitude to usurp rather than to adapt to the political power of the Byzantine Emperor. Hence, their attempts to conquest Constantinople have threatened and in 1201 even expelled the Constantinopolitan rite, so that the old tradition rather survived in a peripheral centre, the Hagia Sophia cathedral of Thessaloniki. Even Rome imported certain elements of the Constantinopolitan cathedral rite, while Pope Gregory the Great pretended that the Roman congregation was not supposed to be a secular rite.
Milan, Ravenna, Paris, and Toledo were once centres of an own local tradition since an early age and over the centuries they withstood the different liturgical reforms for quite a long time. While Milan and Ravenna had been recognised as centres of their own which had an impact on the local regions, Visigothic and various local Gallican rites had much in common with Oriental rites, before they developed in completely different directions under the influence of the Carolingian or Roman-Frankish reforms and the Mozarabic influence in Andalusian Spain.
Concerning the various traditions of local cathedral rites, the local clergy had been linked to forms of courtly representation, which had been converted by the canticles, prayers taken from the Old Testament, and their concept of a fear before God which had to be greater than the fear before earthly power. According to this concept, special litanies (preces, polychronia) mentioned the political rulers by their name and asked for divine mercy and support.
The canticles belong to the oldest layer of Christian Divine service, so they were once linked with the Late Antique period of persecution. While Visigothic Christianity originally followed an eschatologic concept, Gallican rites tried soon to adapt to an Old Roman concept which had been influenced by an orientation towards urban monasticism since the period of Pope Damasus and his secretary Jerome. They imitated the cathedral rite of Jerusalem ("Hagiopolite" rite according to the Greek "Ἡ Ἅγια Πόλις", "the holy city") which had replaced according to the typika of the Desert fathers the canticles by the practice psalm recitation (psalmody).
According to this trend the ritual integration of collective baptism which had been once connected with certain canticles, was now linked with the recitation of the Laudate or Polyeleos psalms.
