Class and Honor


The cathedral has long been used as a place for the Patriarch to rule. During the 13th
century it became more of a state church, where the power given to those within it was
immense. It has long been viewed as a location where power is exercised by those who
are honorable. Currently, it is subject to the local bishop, the Patriarch of Venice.
