This is because a cathedral consist of a high up point. This point is very prone to being struck by lightening since it is usually one of the highest points around its location, and lightening strikes the thing that is closest to it. Having a safety lightening conductor is safer for the cathedral to prevent fires.
A lightning rod is an electric conductor. Its purpose is to safely conduct the electrical charge from a lightning strike to the ground, thus protecting the structure it is attached to.

Probably a Lightning Conductor. They say , in a Bad Storm, lightning will strike the Tallest building first. Cheers.
A:The number of cathedrals that have been destroyed by natural disasters is so great that there can be no reason to believe that cathedrals or other churches are in any way immune to damage. The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti was destroyed by an earthquake, as was the Christchurch cathedral in New Zealand. Others have been destroyed by fire and so on.
Lightning Conductor - film - was created in 1938.
Lightning conductors are installed in multiplex buildings to provide a safe path for lightning to travel down to the ground, protecting the building and its occupants from the destructive force of a lightning strike. Without a lightning conductor, there is a higher risk of damage to the building's structure, electrical systems, and potential safety hazards for occupants.
The Lightning Conductor - 1914 was released on: USA: May 1914

A conductor is metals... lightning is electricity.
