Regarding the Crystal Cathedral and Archbishop Sheen, Pastor Schuller frequently invited the Servant of God Fulton Sheen to preach there in ’70’s and 80’s.
One correction. Archbishop Sheen preached at Crystal Cathedral in the 1970’s not the ’80’s. He reposed in the Lord on December 9th,1979. The Archbishop alwsys said one should have a cup of coffee before praying, I guess that’s true about blogging as well. I met the Servant of God, Fulton Sheen once and he let me kiss his ring. He old me what a good boy I was. Me,a good boy? The Archbishop is a saint, but definitely not infallibe.
