Santa Ana’s $11 million Templo Calvario spending over a million a year on its loan

You got it right Pedroza.

Just imagine how many billions world wide are collected from people tax free by these religious crooks?

..and that is a OK for Larry. But if socialist want to rip of the people too, then Larry complains.

Obama should nationalize all churches. It would be real stimulus for the economy.

Put me on the Board of Directors of the People’s Church so that I can get free tax exempt stuff paid for by the members!

Interesting article Art. I’ve noticed that there is a lot of prejudice against Non-Catholic churches in Santa Ana. When the Catholic Church wants to get approval to expand or build a new cathedral (one on Harbor Bld and another near the Segerstrom School are recent examples) they are given the royal treatment but evangelical churches or Buddhist temples need not apply. I guess it doesn’t hurt that the council is nearly all Catholic as is the city manager. Where is Rusty Kennedy of the Human Relation commission when you need him?!! A few years ago Rock Harbor church wanted to build a church in S.A. and they were given the bums rush. The Vietnamese community can build Catholic churches all day long but forget houses of Buddhist worship. I agree that Templo Calvario should not be expanding in an Industrial zone but how about shining a light on the wasteful spending on buildings by the Vatican and Catholic church and the control the Pope has over Santa Ana officials?

Quoting the Koran to prove your point, great job Art. I always smelt a whiff of the zealot about you. I will forward this to many Middle eastern sites to show them the Crusaders live!

Heil Marie, you are so right. I noticed the Pope hotline last time I was in City hall.

Who will heed the tears of a mouse?

Templo Calvario is a great church. Years ago it was more evangelical and gospel but still is better then most who have fallen away. The music is aweful. If you can take the music, you can benefit from a great church. Wish they would sign old time Holy Ghost Pentecostal Gospel songs once again. Most churches have abandoned this music which is sad and TC is no exception

He built such a huge sanctuary so more souls can congregate together and hear the message of God. When you enter the sanctuary and hear the message from Pastor Danny De Leon (inspired by God), you feel a need to invite people. The new members will hear the word of God and that will not only save their earthly life, but their eternal life. As long as Pastor De Leon is doing God’s work, God will never forsake him.

aquel que este libre de pecado tire la primera piedra!!!, nadie puede juzgar que es lo mejor para Dios o que es lo que El prefiere, cada uno haga de acuerdo a los dictados de su conciencia, ustedes son muy ligeros en juzgar, cuando los miembros de Templo calvario(Hispanos) estan haciendo esfuerzos y actos de Fe en un pais donde nos creen menos que ustedes, de esta manera ahora tenemos uno de los edificios mas bellos de Santa Ana, donde podemos recibir a nuestros hermanos y brindarles no solamente el apoyo, sino darles comodidad a toda la familia, dignifiquemos al ser humano, nosotros no somos de tercera categoria. Si hablan de pobreza porque ustedes entonces son complices de eso, muestren sus obras y les creeremos que sus criticas son honestas, nosotros lo estamos haciendo y es nuestra manera de honrar a Dios y al ser humano creado por El.

he who is without sin cast the first stone!, nobody can judge what is best for God or that is what he prefers, each done according to the dictates of his conscience, you are very light in judging when members of Calvary Temple (Hispanic) are making efforts and acts of faith in a country where we believe less than you, so now we have one of the most beautiful buildings of Santa Ana, where we welcome our brothers and provide no only support, but to give comfort to the entire family, give dignity to human beings, we are no third category. If you talk about poverty because then they are accomplices of that, displaying their works and they will believe that your critics are honest, we’re doing and is our way of honoring God and the human being created by Him

hay hay. Esto es para todos los acusadores, cuando aquella mujer lavo los pies de nuestro senor JESUCRISTO. lo hiso con el perfume mas caro a DIOS le agrado y dijo judas que eso era un desperdisio que ubieran podido venderlo para donar alos pobres, y JESUS le dijo que los pobres siempre van a estar pero el se iba a ir. tambien que de la mujer mas pobre que ella dio todo lo que tenia por amor a Dios y los rikos dieron lo que le sobraba……
parece que es mas practico haser criticas de nuestros lideres y no querer unirse ala hobra, si un pastor tiene un mercedes ya lo miran que es un abusador, si viste con ropa de renombre igual, porfavor lean mas la biblia es muy importante a y por sierto mi pastor Danny de leon calza lo que merece por que ha trabajado otro punto. eske DIOS merece poko? el santuario nuevo no es para adorar a nadie mas que al mismo DIOS quele dijo JESUS a judas del perfume? y ala mujer que dio todo cuanto tenia?
por favor paren de blasfemar en la hobra de DIOS y seamos maduros ala hora de hablar. pues hay personas que estan gozando de burla por lo que pasa en nuestra congregacion pero yo les digo que DIOS es grande y poderoso que nuestro edifisio espiritual no hay banko ni asosiasion ke lo pueda quitar por que le servimos a un DIOS todo poderoso. y pues nadie esta hobligado a dar donasiones es por voluntad y amor. pero hay quienes son mas felises cuando se inagura una cantina que cuando seles hase un anuncio de
obras para DIOS. les amo en CRISTO ………….
y pongan en practica la biblia no sean calienta bankas

hay hay. This is for all the accusers, when the woman washed the feet of Jesus Christ. She did it with the most expensive perfume with God likes and said that was a Judas who could have been able to sell donate to the poor, and Jesus told him that the poor are always going to be but it was going. also that of the poorest women who gave everything she had for love of God and gave what was left … …
seems to be more practical to make criticism of our leaders and not wanting to join Hobro wing, if a pastor has a Mercedes and look what is an abuser, if dresses well-known clothing, please read the Bible is more important truth to and by my pastor leon Danny Shim deserves what he has worked another point. is it GOD deserves less? the new sanctuary is to worship none but the same God Jesus said to Judas quele perfume? and wing woman who gave everything he had? please stop the swearing in Hobro of GOD and be mature when discussing wing. as there are people who are enjoying the joke about what happens in our congregation
but I tell them that God is big and powerful that our spiritual edifisio no banko or ke asosiasion it can remove that we serve a God almighty. And since nobody is giving Donationes hobligado is will and love. but some are more felis when inaugurated a canteen when a notice seles hase work for DIOS. I love them in Christ … … … ….
and put into practice the Bible are not heated bankas

I KNOW PASTOR DANNY DE LEON BETTER THAN MOST. I AM HIS MIDDLE SON. I WAS LED TO THE LORD BY MY FATHER AT THE AGE OF 18 AND HAVE BEEN PRIVILEGE TO BE IN A GOD FEARING CHRISTAN HOME MY ENTIRE LIFE. MY DAD IS THE MOST GOD FEARING PERSON I HAVE MET IN MY 37 YEARS ON THIS EARTH. NO DECISIONS THAT PERTAIN TO THE CHURCH AND THE DIRECTION IN WHICH IT WAS TO MOVE, WAS OR IS MADE WITHOUT HOURS OF PRAYER AND FASTING ON HIS PART AS WELL AS MY MOTHER. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY NIGHTS WHERE HE HAS PRAYED AND READ THE WORD TO FIND DIRECTION AND COMFORT AS THE PASTOR OF TEMPLO CALVARIO. HE DOES NOT TAKE THE POSITION OF PASTOR LIGHTLY. MR. PEDROZA, I REALIZE YOU ARE JUST DOING WHAT A BLOGGER DOES AND JUST LIKES TO STIR THE POT. I ASK THAT BEFORE YOU SLAM SOMEONE, GET TO KNOW THEM. VISIT THE CHURCH..MEET THOSE THAT HAVE HAD THEIR LIFE CHANGE THROUGH TEMPLO’S MINISTRY. MEET PASTOR DANNY…HE IS A GREAT GUY..AWESOME FATHER AND A ANOINTED PASTOR.

I enjoyed reading all these comments. Templo Calvario is a great church as others have said.
Yes the music is too loud and the same songs are sung over and over but have no substance. I too wish that the music staff would return back to solid good old gospel hymns and songs, I like the person previous who referred to the music as radio station music, indeed it is. You know I have visited numerous churches and not only TC but for the most part the quality of the music had deteriorated over the past years everywhere. I wish pastors would only realize people are not happy with music sung in the church today and I am not only talking about TC but everywhere. I like so many stay away from church these days as I cannot relate to the music and lack of substance. The good news is I understand some churches are coming back to the hymn singing and Calvary Chapel is one of them, they used to always sings folk type songs but to my surprise they are now singing a number of old hymns nowadays, hope others will follow. I heard there is a new church in Tustin now that only sings hymns, anybody know where they are and meet or the name? If so, I want to go and give it a try even though it is Baptist. Maybe all hymns isn’t good either so why haven’t churchsd caught on to blended music, hymns and choruses? Lets pray for the evangelical church to return to our heritage.
