Pretty lame that you can get stuck in there - but I found a fix!
If you go as close to the cathedral as you can get, and then choose to "get unstuck" (aka die), you can be resurrected at the cathedral doors instead of in the camp on the other side of the blockade.
I did this and then resurrected at the graveyard, and voila: there I am in front of the cathedral. Went inside and turned in the quest.
At one point I died and was resurrected outside of the Cathedral, I found out that fighting your way back in was futile. So I ran fast to the Lord to finish the quest.
This turns you into a werewolf when you are finished.

Description
We had enough ammunition to carry on the civil war for another month. Yet the worgen's numbers are such that we're nearly spent. We don't want to be caught out here in the open when that happens. Fall back inside the cathedral and report to the boss. I'm sure old Crowley will know what to do next.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- By Blood and Ash
The time has come, <name>. If we're going to put a dent in their numbers, the time is now. We have the position. We have the firepower. All that remains to be seen is whether we have the courage... and I sure don't see a coward standing in front of me.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Last Stand
We've got a good chokepoint here, <name>. Feel free to say a prayer if that's your sort of thing. Take courage and let's kill these mutts.
