Were Mahony's predecessors alive to see the grand opening of the cathedral, they would have wondered what new Protestant sect had arrived in La-La land. A gem!!

Mahony's real reason for establishing a new cathedral is that he is practicing a new religion. Whatever it is, it is not Catholicism. A reasonable assessment, don't you think?

Many Catholics, when they look up at the tapestries on the walls depicting people in sneakers and birkenstocks, will wonder if it can last even a generation as a Catholic building. Thought you would appreciate this one!

This one give the full perspective of the interior. A closer inspection of those pews seems to reveal what we expected all along .. no kneelers.

The Episcopal Cathedral here at least has the little kneelers that slide out from under the seat in front.

I think it should be renovated and redecorated by Mark Loizeaux.

Being 45 years old I have only the vaguest memories of pre-Vatican II times. And I think prior to Vatican II there probably was an oberabundance of fear, people pasting guilt onto others, a bit of superstition (people felt they were "guaranteed" entrance into heaven for wearing the scapular), the pope being carried on a throne, clericalism, triumphalism and the like.
But it sure seems that the reforms have gone a bit too far!

Based on the appearance of the "altar", I wonder if human sacrifice will be included?

This is clericalism run rampant. Do you think that Mahoney bothered to consult the laity. What astonishes me is the modernist's dislike of color. I gave up one local parish because everything was brown and beize. I found it oppressive.

I think a better question is what kind of human sacrifice?
Or is he planning to loaf fudge, maybe? I mean confectioners pay thousands for tables which look like that.

If you go to the Cathedral's website:
http://www.olacathedral.org/ and view the virtual your, it claims that the pews are made of American cherry, fabricated in Mexico and have kneelers. Doesn't mention the chairs though.

A production of VeskoVision.

You know, I posted this on another thread, but I was just thinking, our Dome here cost just over $250 million. Do you think if LA ever got another football team, Rog would rent them the superdome?
To: american colleen
I think I'd insist that he butt in line ahead of me as well.

PS. Good call on your part. If I were you, I'd be afraid, very afraid to have Rog stand behind you.
To: Desdemona
Well, the players could hang out in the restaurant and the convention center for a price.
To: SMEDLEYBUTLER
I can't find it at that link and the pictures posted here sure looks like there are no kneelers. Could you post the info from that site?
