Famed Crystal Cathedral reopens as grand Catholic Church after $77M makeover

Schuller) for his perspective on the re-dedication of the Crystal Cathedral as Christ Cathedral by the Catholic Archdiocese of Orange County, California.

They should be the first to prevent it and yet they regard it all as a godly and holy thing. They do not see that the devil is behind it all, to strengthen greed, to create a false and fictitious faith, to weaken the parish churches, to multiply taverns and harlotry, to lose money and working time to no purpose, and to lead ordinary people by the nose. If they had read Scripture as well as the damnable canon law, they would know how to deal with this matter! “

Paul-
Your interview w Dr. Schuller was awesome. Your disagreement w him near the end was a model of how people of good will can express points of view which genuinely differ, while most of their beliefs are congruent.
One quibble: a person does not “go to their dying grave”. They go to their dying day or dying breath, OR, they go to their grave–their IS no dying grave.
However, the theological tennis match btw you was thrilling to hear, and astoundingly you were both right! (A belief I will carry to my dying grave.)
