Interesting how Mahoney used disinformation to get his monstrosity built. He told the faithful it would "cost too much" to repair St. Vibiana's--$50 million. Then he raises $200 million for his brand new airport hanger--er--cathedral. Anybody wonder where the body of St. Vibiana--a gift for the Los Angelos faithful a hundred years ago by Pius IX--now reposes? It was unceremoniously dumped in an unmarked hole in the ground--no ceremony, no marker, no nothing. So much for the veneration of the saints--a custom of the old religion. This new showplace is dedicated to the spirit of Vatican II. Hmmmmmmm.....

Dear ultima,

"Anybody wonder where the body of St. Vibiana--a gift for the Los Angelos faithful a hundred years ago by Pius IX--now reposes?

Hmmm...

That seems to be at odds with what I found here, at the official website of the Cathedral Chapel of St. Vibiana:

http://www.cathedralchapel.org/frontpageinfo/history.htm

From this website:

"Her remains were secured in the downtown Cathedral which bears her name until they were recently carefully removed for safekeeping until the new Cathedral is finished. Though the new Cathedral will be named Our Lady Queen of the Angels for Mary, a special Chapel will built in St. Vibiana’s name."

It appears that her remains have been moved from the old cathedral to be moved ultimately to a new chapel for her in the new cathedral.

That wasn't quite communicated in your post, ultima.

I pray that Providence will spare the remains of St. Vibiana from being reinterred within the false cathedral of a false bishop who has sold crypts to such outstanding Catholics as Rubert Murdoch and Richard Riordan.

If Divine justice is done, when the 'big one' hits LA this new cathedral will be decimated and St. Vibiana's will remain standing.

Would appreciate a link to that information. Thanks.
