Where Can I Find a Traditional Roman Catholic Church? (Los Angeles: electricity, area)

[Exitus Acta Probat]

By "traditional" I mean no weird modern stuff, like electronic candles, weird artificial lighting, or anything else tacky that you'll only find in a country like the U.S. I want something more along the lines of what can still be found in Europe or Latin American countries.

Try a Mexican village that has no electricity.

try the missions in the Los Angeles Area like Mission of San Gabriel, Mission of San Fernando, and Mission of San Juan Capistrano, there are also traditional looking catholic churches like Saint Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church on Figueroa south of Downtown. also the churches on olvera street, st. andrew in pasadena i think is catholic, and from the freeway by downtown riverside you can see a very beautiful church not sure its religion.

Issue is, is that Europe has way lower church involvement/attendance rates.

If you want to preserve the church like a relict of history, then people respond accordingly, and see church as a musuem/historical reanactment, as it basically is in Europe. The US has much higher church involvement, which may partly be due to churches being more fluid and dynamic.

Our Lady of the Angels in Arcadia is run by the Society of St. Piux X (Mel Gibson's sedevacantist buddies)
