The prosperous Orange County Archdiocese has been wanting to build a cathedral in the area for a long time and the iconic Crystal Cathedral apparently is a very good fit for them. It is a very beautiful church.
The real tragedy is the rift in the Schiller family that led up to this.
The sad truth is...despite how beautiful the church may appear, you might as well have written ‘Ichabod’( Hebrew for “the glory of the Lord has departed”) above the door...if God’s glory was ever there at all.
The doctrine ‘preached’ there was not in line with God’s truth.
