    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.

  2. Philip M. McGhee says:

    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.
