Aztec Dance Procession Stirs Concern Inside LA Cathedral

A video from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles shows an Aztec dance procession inside a Catholic cathedral. References to the “four directions.” Indigenous spiritual practices. Ceremonial elements that echo pre-Christian traditions—taking place in the sanctuary, before the tabernacle.

John-Henry Westen reacts to what he calls a pattern of syncretism within the Church. The ceremony, he argues, blurs the line between Catholic worship and non-Christian religious practices.
