A creditors committee filed documents in federal bankruptcy court Tuesday that call for the sale of the 40-acre property.
The financially troubled church recently announced it's not for sale, but there are offers on the table.
The Catholic Diocese of Orange recently upped its bid to buy the property for $53.6 million. The new offer includes a rent reserve that would allow /*Crystal Cathedral*/ ministries to remain onsite and hold services for several years.
There are also several other bids in the $50 million range.
Creditors say the church board could choose a buyer. But if it won't cooperate, they'll push through a deal and then sue, arguing church leaders improperly received payments that should've gone to the creditors.
The cathedral filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last October.
