The Dark Story of America's Most Controversial Cathedral: Our Lady of the Angels

The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels cost $189.7 million to build. The settlements would eventually cost 8 times more. On September 2, 2002, Cardinal Roger Mahony blessed the bronze doors of the most expensive Catholic cathedral ever built in America. 3,000 people packed inside. Thousands more waited in 90-degree heat. And behind police barriers... protesters holding photographs. This is the story of a building designed to last 500 years—and the secrets that were buried while the concrete was still being poured. A Pritzker Prize architect's masterwork. Spanish alabaster windows. $5 million marble altar. And a cardinal who saw an earthquake as an opportunity. What the guidebooks won't tell you is what was happening in the chancery offices while the construction crews worked. What files were accumulating. What confessions were being buried instead of heard. The concrete is still curing. The questions remain unanswered. And the building asks everyone who enters the same thing it asked on dedication day: What did you think this cost?
