The irony is that they printed Our Lady of Guadalupe's image on the brochure. What would Fr Junipero Serra think?

 He would probably expect the Spanish soldiers to pursue them with crossbows and blunderbusses and swords.

 :facepalm: Now I can’t unsee it. 
Notice how the pews are packed to the gills! Standing room only! :mad:
You misname the place. I’ve been in ѕуηαgσgυєs more decent than this. 

They should save it for the “Indigenous People’s Day” parade.

I looked up the original work, and when you do, they're all in a concert setting. No dancers. If I can track down the score somewhere, it will show... not having dancers.

This work is in the same genre of music as the Verdi Requiem, or the Bach B Minor Mass, namely the "concert Mass". It is a setting of the Ordinary for massive forces—full orchestra, a large chorus and soloists. It is a concert Mass because it is improper for liturgy. The Bach, for example, sets each paragraph or so to its own musical setting. It's also 2.5 hours long.

Has this been performed inside a church without dancers? Yes. No idea why these were added.

Added some context as someone who is in music, and also because LSN tends to lean very sensationalist.
