The Archdiocese of Los Angeles? – as someone remarked of the creator of certain video this week: “No pride, no shame.”

Rad Trad has kindly drawn our attention to a real Midnight solemn mass filmed in this very same St. Vibiana Cathedral. It was part of a 1944 film featuring then singing superstar Deanna Durbin. A feast for the liturgically inclined!
