I was still a Protestant then & was morbidly fascinated by it's architecture & attempt at grandeur - like the Cathedral at Koln, Germany but in a 'Protestant American Tradition' was what came to my mind at the time. Then I found out that several blocks of low income housing had been razed to build it, displacing dozens of poor families in the process - wow. <br /><br />So now I am not sure what to think & perhaps I will not until I go back & see it in operation as a Catholic Cathedral. <br /><br />It is very close in location to Disneyland - that makes sense somehow... -pgalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-52342404093689733542011-12-23T10:13:38.551-05:002011-12-23T10:13:38.551-05:00$57 Mil vs. $200 Mil?

It's right by the I-5 which cuts through the middle of the diocese and near a couple of other freeways so that the entire diocese has rather easy access to the thing. <br /><br />Yes, the place is Fugly. But, Location, Location, Location. <br /><br />We all should go to the diocesan website and pray for Bishop Brown. http://rcbo.org/about-us/bishops/prayer-for-the-bishop.html<br /><br />I've not seen a website where the Bishop requests your prayers. Good on him for that. <br /><br />As for the Crystal Cathedral, it's a touch less of a mystery now.<br /><br />Robrobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09392961141770659933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-57645403654551445292011-12-23T09:34:38.147-05:002011-12-23T09:34:38.147-05:00"Mass is said in 10 languages, including Viet..."Mass is said in 10 languages, including Vietnamese, Polish, Mandarin, Korean, Indonesian and Spanish."<br /><br />How much you want to bet Latin isn't one of them?Templarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204866760862707908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-87163229511002000032011-12-23T08:18:44.133-05:002011-12-23T08:18:44.133-05:00frankly, I am so put off by it I can't bring m...frankly, I am so put off by it I can't bring myself to trust my own opinion.
