There is. I'll have to research it.
It's like the bishops never even read. [?]
I believe this falls into the category of "ego". Mahony intentionally disposed of St. Vibiana's Cathedral in order to erect an edifice with his name "attached". Wasn't the original budget set at $50 million? According to this and several other articles, the price tag is now up to $200 million! And, it's not yet completed.
What stuns me are some of these "new age" projects. How about:
Sculptor Max De Moss, who made candleholders and a towering receptacle for consecrated bread and wine, is a member of a Greek Orthodox family.
What is this supposed to be? With Vosko's name attached, I suppose the Tabernacle has either been tossed or relegated to some sub basement room.

DATELINE - 14 July 2005
The Governor-General of the Mexican Protectorate of Santa Vibiana (formerly known as southern California, Nevada, and Arizona) revealed the final report of the Sociedad Hispanoamericana e Internacional de Terremotos.
In the report by top scientists from the European Union and Mexico, the epicenter of the Los Angeles 8.2 mag. earthquake of 2003 has been mapped precisely to the location of the American Catholic Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in the city of Los Angeles.
Since all of Los Angeles submerged during the earthquake and was lost in the creation of the new Boxer Volcanic Rift, the efforts to pinpoint the epicenter of the quake have been very difficult.
Miraculously the reliquary of St. Vibiana which was in Los Angeles washed ashore air tight and intact on the west coast of the former state of Arizona. In 2004 the region was renamed Santa Vibiana by Mexican President Vicente Fox when the U.N. - against the obejections of the Republic of Texas - made the region a protectorate of Mexico.
