A sale to the diocese would be rich with symbolism. Schuller built the Crystal Cathedral as the physical expression of a Space Age ministry that eschewed orthodoxy in favor of a casual worship style and the self-help spirit of "possibility thinking." It stood in sharp contrast to the sort of dogma and ritual practiced by the Catholic Church.

Outside the Crystal Cathedral on Wednesday, volunteer gardener Fred Schwartz said many of the people with long ties to the Schuller ministry would be disheartened by its conversion to a Catholic church.

As Archbishop Sheen once stated: "There are not more than 100 people in the world who truly hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they perceive to be the Catholic Church."

In my RC diocese, several of our churches, built with monies raised by immigrants, have been sold to Evangelical churches. As christians, we rejoice that these churches are still being used to worship our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

At least it would be used to worship God, and not some man made dogma that Schuller peddles.

Why disheartened? Install the One True Church and more people will come. Also, huge need to renovate and take away that museum looking framework and actually make it look like a Church. This is a great move.

There is nothing to perceive - it is what it is - an organization that is rooted in man made teachings/traditions that nullify God's Word. Their idolatry is pagan in origin.

BOTH, the CC and the RCC are based on man made teachings - a good fit for the RCC - I hope they buy it.
