A new and intriguing prospect for the Crystal Cathedral emerged Wednesday when the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange said it was considering buying the bankrupt church in Garden Grove and converting it to a Catholic cathedral.
The announcement by Orange Bishop Tod Brown came one day after Chapman University made a $46-million bid for the 40-acre site. The Crystal Cathedral had earlier reached a tentative agreement for a sale and lease-back deal with a real estate developer, subject to approval by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Robert Kwan.

Gez will be apoplectic . . .
Not so fast. This isn’t a done deal. I’m a Catholic in Southern California, and I for one hope it doesn’t happen
I’m not an expert, but it doesn’t strike me as being in keeping with Catholic architecture.
I think it’s a great idea as it does have a baptismal pool.
