Morris Cerullo, the famed and sometimes controversial televangelist who opened a $200 million Bible-themed attraction in Mission Valley last December, passed away on Friday in a San Diego hospital after a brief bout with pneumonia. He was 88.
In December, the Rancho Santa Fe resident told The San Diego Union-Tribune that he hoped that his massive new Morris Cerullo Legacy International Center would reflect his lifetime of service, both to his faith and to the millions of people he ministered to throughout his life.
Im 88 years of age, and my time on this Earth may not be very long, Cerullo said. I wanted to leave something that would be of value and speak to the principles Ive upheld for the past 70 years. All I can tell you is that everybody is welcome at the Legacy Center. We cant draw any lines of demarcation. Its like saying Jesus didnt die for the Muslims. He died for the world. Our job is to love everybody and to love them sincerely but not hypocritically.
Tributes to Cerullo who ran ministry programs in more than 150 nations on six continents have poured in from Christian leaders around the world.

I'm hoping and praying that the Falwells and Grahams of the world will soon join "Papa" in the arms of Jesus.

It's their likely destination anyway.

(Obviously, I don't know for sure that God is a liberal, but I'm betting that if she exists, she sure isn't a conservative.)

in movies.) For others like Cerullo I'd always go "hmmmm".
