That is none other than Cardinal Mahoney and friends at the "arena mass" which took place during the Catholic Education Conference this year in February. The LA Diocese website proudly displayed these photos and published ones like it in the Tidings diocesan newspaper.
Apparently it was a mass that was a special event here.

From what I read, they guested people who were Catholics from many places and they dances their traditional things from their state. Like kids dancing that were from Hawaii wearing and dancing native garb.
Very nice. Was at an event and is NOT traditional mass though.

Precisely! "What a pack of freaks."
What a mess. Hidden away, in some of the hundreds of parishes in California, are good and holy priests toiling away in anonymity, serving the flock with total abandonment to God... sigh
