...A 6,000-space mausoleum, built beneath the cathedral, along with a gift shop, restaurant, conference center and a 600-car parking garage...

Now let me get this straight: This cathedral is not only near the Staples Center (home of the Lakers)and Disney Concert Hall plus there's a gift shop and 600-car parking garage in the mausoleum?? Man, this place just keeps getting better and better! (sarcasm)

A 6,000-space mausoleum, built beneath the cathedral, along with a gift shop, restaurant, conference center and a 600-car parking garage should cover most expenses

Now let me get this straight. Christ had a real issue with 'money changers' and 'merchants' in sacred buildings and around the court. Unless the bible is mistaken, I do believe that he went on a rampage, because of his revulsion to this. But, naturally; it's fine if the Catholic church does this. They must have a chapter in their bible that is missing from mine. I was under the (mistaken) impression that giftshops in a church undermined the sacred nature of the church; and that raping innocents was wrong. Where can I find a copy of the 'corrected' bible?

They did something similar with a Mosque, as well. They added the "Allah Snackbar!" for a little extra revenue... ;0)

No crucifix's. And plenty of golden angels on the Altar.How sad. It is like Disney....they actually have the word confession on the web page though.

Was it a Freudian slip that you put up the title as "Our Lady of the Angles" rather than "Our Lady of the Angels"? Seems rather appropriate to me, given the business aspects of the whole operation.

Sorta reminds me of a fictitious church I've long referred to, "Our Lady of Perpetual Bingo."

Not to worry Hodar ... the title of the article says that this is a church of angles, which appears to be correct ...

Here is the photo of Our Lady Of The Angels in this church.

Viewing this web page of this cathedral....things just don't look-right muchless traditional. If this is for real....how very sad.

You've made the incorrect assumption that Mahony is a Catholic.

It looks expensively liberal with no real solemn traditions exept the kneelers.
