There is a special invitation-only mass at 11am today for the installation of the new archbishop. The cathedral will be closed to visitors for a few hours between 9am and 1pm because of that. But otherwise it is open normally.

I think that there was very limited access to one of the side chapels for very infrequent services. Other than that public access to the building was not allowed for many months and the regular cathedral services took place in a nearby church instead.

You are correct. I didn't go into detail.

It was an experience to walk inside the room with huge sheets of plastic and walls stripped bare of ornaments, sounds of handtools....
