The church was generally the one who provided that as well; the cathedrals you are referring to were largely built by local guilds and communities coming together and wanting to build a shrine to the uniting thread that binded them, to glorify God's kingdom on Earth.
There are plenty of scientific reasons as to why this is good for a society as well, so I'm just not sure what would have been necessarily more practical.
