GARDEN GROVE, CA – A Roman Catholic diocese made a $50 million cash offer to buy Southern California’s financially struggling Crystal Cathedral, officials said Friday. The Diocese of Orange said its proposal could pull the megachurch, which was founded more than 50 years ago by pioneering televangelist Rev. Robert H. Schuller, out of bankruptcy by the end of the year. On July 3, 2011, local newspapers and other outlets reported that Robert H. Schuller had been voted off the church’s board of trustees by the other board members.
