@@barbarathompson8559 The Catholic Diocese of Orange County purchased the Crystal Cathedral for $57.5 million. This not only included the Cathedral but other architecturally significant buildings and the vast surrounding campus. If the Catholic Church didn't purchase the cathedral some other organization would have. Because the Catholic Diocese of Orange County needed a new place to serve as its Main Cathedral for the ever-growing number of Catholics this was a premier opportunity and an absolute steal. Hell, some estates in Newport or Laguna are currently on the market for more.
@@felixguerrero6062 I'm catholic and I'm very aware of that. However, this is not a catholic church. A large percentage of the catholic churches in the world are several hundred years old and older and didn't cost anywhere near what this church cost. Nor do the priest live in big extravagant houses like so many ministers live in today and they didn't wear jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
@@felixguerrero6062 I give 10% to the catholic church and 7%of that goes into catholic charities. I also donate to the local fire department humanitarian fund which goes to low income families that suffer through home fires. I also donate to animal rescues but don't know the exact percentages because they vary.
At the end, the reporter mentioned 90 foot doors. But, I don't recall he mentioned them earlier in the video. I don't know what he meant by drive up confession. But, one of reasons the doors were permanently closed during the interior renovation was to protect the organ. When the property was transferred to the Catholic Diocese, the organ was in poor condition. It had been damaged by high temperature when the Crystal Cathedral was closed between services, and also by temperature and humidity changes when the 90 foot doors were opened. In addition, the doors allowed insects, birds, and dust to get into the organ. The organ was disassembled, shipped to Italy for restoration, repair, and technology updates. When Christ Cathedral was dedicated in 2019, re-installation of the organ was not yet completed. As was mentioned in the video, one effect of the quatrefoils is to stabilize the temperature inside the church. The new HVAC system also helps protect the organ. Another effect of the quatrefoils is improved acoustics.
@@ChesterPaulSgroi That doesn't make sense to me in the context of the 90 foot door. Although this video was uploaded in 2021, the door was permanently closed during the building's renovation and interior remodeling. So, that would have been before the dedication in the Summer of 2019. I have to wonder if Crystal Cathedral had drive-up confessions during Reverend Schuller's time there? But, I don't even know if his denomination had confession. When Reverend Schuller arrived in Orange County, he rented a drive-in theater to preach. He would stand on the roof of the building, while worshipers could remain in their cars. When he announced plans to build a church, he received letters from people who had mobility challenges. They appreciated they did not have to leave their cars to worship. So, Reverend Schuller had Garden Grove Community Church designed so ministers could preach from the side of the choir loft. A sliding door would open to the outside, allowing the preacher to be seen by people in the parking lot, or on the grass area between the parking lot and building. When Crystal Cathedral was designed, Reverend Schuller wanted to continue allowing people to worship from their cars. So, the 90 foot door was included: Opening it allowed some on the outside to see the preacher. In addition, Reverend Schuller also had a large outdoor screen (JumboTron or similar) installed so worshipers who remained in their cars could have a better view.
@@jamesfunk7614 In their old building (pre-cathedral) they had a door that opened the pulpit area to the parking lot and people in their cars could hear and view the sermon along with those in the building (there are videos of this on UA-cam). I believe the 90 foot doors in the cathedral were meant to mimic this but I don't know if they still offered a view and sound for people in their cars, just meant to let in fresh air. I would have loved to see a service there during Dr. Schuler's time.
In the old testament prayers cannot be held inside stone, brick, wood or any other material that prayers are blocked from morality.... your body is the temple, your prayers are heard in the open air and through your soul, you cannot lie, and there are no idols to distract you and your love for God.

A wonderful ministry. I was there for a "Music in May Festival" in May, 1984 and it was glorious. The cathedral was and will always be a glorious gift to God and all believers. Thanks be to God.
Beautiful building. I wonder how many people that much $ could have fed, how many hospital bills it could have paid, how many homes it could have built for people having hard times.....all to listen to an actor.
I have been to the Cathedral several times growing up as a kid. So many memories. I never realized Chuck Norris was there. I’ve been a huge fan my entire life! 3:01
I had no idea the Crystal Cathedral is now owned by the Catholic Church. I sang there with my Universities Choir in 1998 and it was broadcast on Sunday so my mom could watch up in Northern Cali while she was sick. She is well now but this was an amazing moment. ❤ Especially after being raised listening to Dr. Schuler.
Orange County has a huge and ever-growing number of Catholics.This is considered the Main Catholic cathedral for the entire county. The Archidiœcesis of Los Angeles has a population of roughly 11,599,000 Catholics. It has only one Main cathedral for all the millions of its congregants. These cathedrals serve as gathering places for large civic celebrations and funerals that are open to all the public and are often fully filled. Some of these events are even broadcasted nationally. Today, Catholic Charities of Los Angeles operates 22 community centers and seven homeless shelters, as well as over 50 programs serving the poor including: food pantries; thrift stores; in-home services for homebound seniors; refugee resettlement; youth employment services; counseling; affordable before-and-after-school child care; immigration assistance; pre-school for children of low income families; and temporary worker centers throughout the archdiocese of Los Angeles. So to answer your question, no this is not built to house the homeless. Perhaps, with your heartfelt concern about the disadvantaged, you would kindly and generously donate some of your money or even volunteer your time. Please contact Catholic Charities at (213) 251-3400. Thank you.

The reason why the Crystal Cathedral was purchased by the Catholic Diocese of Orange County is because the growing number of Roman Catholics required a main cathedral to facilitate the immense growth. The diocese purchased Crystal Cathedral for only $57.5 million. Thus, the purchase was more cost effective than building a brand new Catholic cathedral from the ground up. Currently, there are some estates in Newport Beach and Laguna that are currently listed for more than that purchase price. The services at Christ's Cathedral are full and well attended. Unlike a McDonalds sign posting how many billions of its hamburgers have been consumed, Christ's Cathedral has no need to quantify how many of its parishioners have been brought to Christ via the Gospel.

I don’t believe this church was a waste of money, this church is beautiful Art.... I’m Catholic but I wished the Christians still owned it. “The Glory of Christmas” will be missed.
look I understand as much as the next guy not wanting to spend so much money to build a cathedral, but I absolutely know most of you who are complaining about this and the cost of it are absolutely fine with all of those old cathedrals that took so much more money and literal centuries to build.
Not necessarily. In centuries past it could’ve been a joint communal effort and more art and craftsmanship involved…they are literally just signing some contracts, sending some computer digits over the screen, and outsourcing to corporations with no spiritual involvement.
No, it is not a waste. It was an absolute bargain. The Crystal Cathedral was purchased for $57.5 million. There are some estates in Newport Beach and Laguna currently going for more.
2 Timothy 3:5 “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” King James Version (KJV) I have to ask where is the Presence of Holy Spirit in all of this? The Church is not the building, it is not brick-and-mortar, it is not glass and stone. 1 Peter 2:5 “Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.” King James Version (KJV)
Not likely. During the conversion the structure of the Cathedral was refitted to withstand earthquakes.The whole structure was reworked including replacing the panes of glass and grout that were deteriorating on it exterior surface

Dr. Schuller and his ministry led me to Christ and to become a Christian as a teenager. As a young college student, I was honored to have donated one of the 10,000 windows of the cathedral with my name at the side of it. It truly is a special place, even though now owned by the Catholic Church. I am glad that the Catholic Church did not name it after one of their saints, but named it Christ Cathedral. The name Christ Cathedral makes it a cathedral for all Christians of all different Christian traditions.
You people have nerve complaining about a sound system multi millions on a church ridiculous a man of GOD would have helped GODS people with that money 💰
Acts 17: 24 "God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth *NOT* in temples made with hands;" 1st John 3: 6 "Whosoever abideth in him *SINNETH NOT:* whosoever sinneth hath *NOT* seen him, *NEITHER* known him." Matthew 23: 5 "But *ALL* their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments," This utterly DISGUSTS me. ALL these people are SOOOOO far from God you wouldn't believe it if it was shown to you. If you STILL sin, you are NOT Saved. Figure it out.

Was this church about the glory of God, or the glory of Schuller? And it wasn't made of crystal and it wasn't a cathedral as the RCA doesn't have bishops.
I wonder if he will be able to look the Lord in the eye. How easily people give away their hard earned money to such decadent monstrosities with a hope of receiving salvation or maybe " please God". If they open the Bible and read, they will know that salvation is free. It cannot be bought.
“God wanted the best?” Sorry, He is amongst the poor and downtrodden, the sad and the lonely. He is in a dirt covered hut and in creaky termite eaten country chapels. A grand place of worship has nothing to do with Christ’s love and compassion for all people. I read recently that my church, the Holy Roman Catholic Church, is the single most wealthy institution in the world. Rich in dollars, rich in deceit, rich in abuse, rich in coverups, rich in those mortal sins they so freely condemn the parishioners of comitting. Growing up in the Catholic religion I can’t think of a mass I ever attended where money was not asked for, focused on, nor obligation that we weren’t reminded of, from the building fund to some village of heathens in Africa we needed to support. From the old car the pastor wanted to replace or another stained glass cleaning that had to happen. It’s easy to say now that I believe in God and pray to Him every day but I no longer believe in my church. The hypocrisy is just too overwhelming.
I went to an Amway meeting back in the day... inspiring but,,, I was not sold...and I did not bite the bait... I am not saying he is bad... I am saying be careful. Of the wolf...

No, this is when the Catholic church buys a Cathedral with other architecturally significant structures that are located on a vast in size campus for only 57.5 million dollars. There is nothing Satanic about this extraordinary bargain. I guess you might say it was a steal.

It would certainly wonderful to visit and sing in the cathedral one day to be quite honest.
WE ALL KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO PULL AN ELEPHANT THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE ..!!!
Wonderful spending priorities
I don’t believe this church was a waste of money, this church is beautiful Art.... I’m Catholic but I wished the Christians still owned it. “The Glory of Christmas” will be missed.
Catholics are Christians.
look I understand as much as the next guy not wanting to spend so much money to build a cathedral, but I absolutely know most of you who are complaining about this and the cost of it are absolutely fine with all of those old cathedrals that took so much more money and literal centuries to build.
Not necessarily. In centuries past it could’ve been a joint communal effort and more art and craftsmanship involved…they are literally just signing some contracts, sending some computer digits over the screen, and outsourcing to corporations with no spiritual involvement.
What a waste of money!
No, it is not a waste. It was an absolute bargain. The Crystal Cathedral was purchased for $57.5 million. There are some estates in Newport Beach and Laguna currently going for more.
Bishop Sheen was once invited by Robert Schuller to preach in the Crystal Cathedral.
"He believed God deserved the best." That's hysterical. Except it's also tragic.
Why in the world would you need this just to warship GOD. I don't know much about this building or the people who preached there.
Nothing is enough.
Just stay in California 😜.
2 Timothy 3:5
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
King James Version (KJV)
I have to ask where is the Presence of Holy Spirit in all of this? The Church is not the building, it is not brick-and-mortar, it is not glass and stone.
1 Peter 2:5
“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.”
King James Version (KJV)
Earthquake will level this.
Not likely. During the conversion the structure of the Cathedral was refitted to withstand earthquakes.The whole structure was reworked including replacing the panes of glass and grout that were deteriorating on it exterior surface

Bienvenid@ Hn@ 🤝👏💐🥂🛤🌄 💒🙏🕊🌏.GOD CONTINUE BLESSING THE WOLD
Dr. Schuller and his ministry led me to Christ and to become a Christian as a teenager. As a young college student, I was honored to have donated one of the 10,000 windows of the cathedral with my name at the side of it. It truly is a special place, even though now owned by the Catholic Church. I am glad that the Catholic Church did not name it after one of their saints, but named it Christ Cathedral. The name Christ Cathedral makes it a cathedral for all Christians of all different Christian traditions.
"THE MAN BEHIND THE MASK" BY PASTOR /PROFESSOR WALTER VEITH POWERFUL WATCH... TRUTH ALWAYS WINS ALWAYS WINS ❤️❤️❤️
You people have nerve complaining about a sound system multi millions on a church ridiculous a man of GOD would have helped GODS people with that money 💰
Those pastors preach a fake translation of the gospels.
This video made me weep. This has nothing to do with God. It's pure pride and evil. God save us all.
What is evil about this? Please be concrete and specific in your response.
Imagine if people spend their money on charity rather than a church. There'd be a lot less suffering in the world.
Rather than?
Acts 17: 24 "God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth *NOT* in temples made with hands;"
1st John 3: 6 "Whosoever abideth in him *SINNETH NOT:* whosoever sinneth hath *NOT* seen him, *NEITHER* known him."
Matthew 23: 5 "But *ALL* their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,"
This utterly DISGUSTS me.
ALL these people are SOOOOO far from God you wouldn't believe it if it was shown to you.
If you STILL sin, you are NOT Saved.
Figure it out.
I'm no longer waiting for the GRANT LOAN because I earn $ 46,700 every 10 days recently

Think of how many people could’ve been help with that money instead of wasting it on a building like that disgraceful in my opinion
I say that to myself, everyone o see a democrat doing much much better then us God loving middle class.
DISGUSTING waste of God's money.
And no you didn’t build the worlds largest organ.
I’ve constructed organs for the past 40yrs, and it’s the worlds largest organ.
While all your homeless people on your streets?😢
You mean the congregation bought a new sound system!
Poor red states couldn’t built it. 😎🇺🇸

Nice office building
Can't build anything now.
Thanks y’all
That should be one interesting expenditure...
Was this church about the glory of God, or the glory of Schuller? And it wasn't made of crystal and it wasn't a cathedral as the RCA doesn't have bishops.
Sure is not 1% of 600 billion 700 million is it
For the love of money is the root of all evil.
No it isn’t
Sin is
I wonder if he will be able to look the Lord in the eye. How easily people give away their hard earned money to such decadent monstrosities with a hope of receiving salvation or maybe " please God". If they open the Bible and read, they will know that salvation is free. It cannot be bought.
I love that book how to build a cathedral
Five people in my family went that way at the bottom of the last comment that ends and for secretary
Lost souls overspending ?
Looks good.
Why do we need God if we have ao much wisdom, per some of the comments here
“God wanted the best?” Sorry, He is amongst the poor and downtrodden, the sad and the lonely. He is in a dirt covered hut and in creaky termite eaten country chapels. A grand place of worship has nothing to do with Christ’s love and compassion for all people. I read recently that my church, the Holy Roman Catholic Church, is the single most wealthy institution in the world. Rich in dollars, rich in deceit, rich in abuse, rich in coverups, rich in those mortal sins they so freely condemn the parishioners of comitting. Growing up in the Catholic religion I can’t think of a mass I ever attended where money was not asked for, focused on, nor obligation that we weren’t reminded of, from the building fund to some village of heathens in Africa we needed to support. From the old car the pastor wanted to replace or another stained glass cleaning that had to happen. It’s easy to say now that I believe in God and pray to Him every day but I no longer believe in my church. The hypocrisy is just too overwhelming.
I went to an Amway meeting back in the day... inspiring but,,, I was not sold...and I did not bite the bait... I am not saying he is bad... I am saying be careful. Of the wolf...
Building something like this in that state, bit like polishing a 💩 and being proud of the shine.
?
People get tire of spread lie that why it going bankrupt 😂
When I get rich I'm going to go shopping in the Smithsonian for necklaces and jewelry you know just the old stuff that they don't need anymore or they don't want on display anymore or stuff that they actually have to sell are you going to buy all my stuff there
That looks like the grey states roof on that , that's one of the most frightening things I've seen in a while and that's with honesty
terrible
This is a prime example of when Satan takes over the House of God.
No, this is when the Catholic church buys a Cathedral with other architecturally significant structures that are located on a vast in size campus for only 57.5 million dollars. There is nothing Satanic about this extraordinary bargain. I guess you might say it was a steal.
I think in God's eye's both owners of THIS building were and are an abomination in His sight!
They made the church 🤢🤢🤢🤢

The remuddle of this building is a travesty.
