Cathedrals were very large churches, which were used as other churches were except in one respect. They were the churches administered by bishops instead of priests, the bishops being the central authorities for dioceses, which were ecclesiastical areas analogous to counties.

Were the clothing during the Renaissance and the middle ages the same?

So there was a point when they were the same. Fashions change, however, and this was especially true in both the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Apart from that bit of overlap, clothing of the Renaissance and the Middle Ages were different.
