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.

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.

Oh my gosh, but is that little brown coffee table in the middle of that mess supposed to be the altar?

You know, I think a future Cardinal Archbishop of Los Angeles could really do something with this monstrosity. First, wall off about 2/3 of it and use the space as a homeless shelter/soup kitchen/orphanage/hospital. Second, de-wreckovate the "worship area" to have an identifiable nave, apse, choir loft, etc. Honestly, it's so big, a future Cardinal with some serious creativity could build a real functional cathedral inside this thing.
