California is known for many ugly, modern, Protestant-looking Catholic Cathedrals: Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, Cathedral of Christ the Light, etc. One more may be added to that list: Crystal Cathedral. This Protestant megachurch may be bought by the Diocese of Orange and consecrated as the new Cathedral of Orange. Here's the article:

Makes sense a Non Catholic Church for a non Catholic N.O. religion.

These "Cathedrals" are all probably built by Freemasons and are littered with Masonic imagery like the "church" they built for Padre Pio. They don't even look like churches. They look like mini WTCs.

I don't actually think any of these buildings are ugly. They simply are not fit to be churches. They would make perfectly lovely concert halls.

I went inside the Crystal Cathedral in 1985. It is a huge monstrosity of a place. When I was there, they opened up the crystal windows and released a flock of doves. Since the NO won't have to put an altar inside, I imagine they won't have to do very much remodeling to the building. By now, it probably has a few of those giant television screens hanging from the ceiling. They might remove those, but who knows.

CMof7-

I went there about 7 years ago (when in the NO). I wouldn't say it's ugly, but as Sigismund mentioned, definitely not fit for a Catholic Church. I know that on the grounds of the facility, there was a dedication to Bishop Fulton Sheen... :scratchchin:

Of a sort. I think it was primarily one TV preacher acknowledging the Master Of Them All.

Ecuмenism on whose part? The Protestants' alone? Oh ho ho --

For the attention-span-deficient, start at around 3:30, the fireworks begin at around 3:40.

Thats disgusting, man. I knew Sheen was a joke, a sham, a flim-flam doodah... but that video sealed it.

Thanks for posting, and can everyone watch it for your soul's sake? SHEEN JUST PROMOTED EcuмENISM and then put Antipope John 23 on a pedestal. Doesnt get much more obvious than this... I really hope all the rumors I hear of Sheen repenting of his views on Vatican II on his death bed were true .

This may not be on topic, but I don't want to start a new thread on this.

Does anybody have any pictures of Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago prior to Vatican II? It looks like it used to be a beautiful church at one time. Now it looks, well, like a Novus Ordo church (of course).

This is the interior of the Cathedral of the Holy Name as it appeared in
1958.
No hint of any novus ordo activity at this time.

Those churches look absolutely full of Satanic Vatican II theology on how churches should look like! (not Churches but off-broadway theatres and opera buildings!)
