When it takes an atheist to explain the faith…
Yesterday I posted a video of some Dominican Nuns reacting to Pope Francis’ election. Here is the other video which I really wanted to post during my Lenten blog fast:
For those of you who don’t live in the US, the chap on the right is Penn Jillette, one half of the magic group “Penn & Teller” and a vocal atheist. I’m pretty sure everyone knows the guy on the right, the former British tabloid writer and editor, Piers Morgan.
Until recently I had no idea that Piers called himself a Catholic, but when Pope Benedict resigned he became incredibly vocal about it, tweeting and saying many things that would give a first year theologian a rather impressive aneurism.
I love the way it takes an Atheist such as Penn to explain to a professed Catholic such as Piers the basics of Catholicism…
Penn is COMPLETELY on! How strange and wonderful this is! đŸ™‚

wow, after being “instructed” by Penn and compared to Martin Luther, I hope Piers Morgan does some serious thinking. Perhaps the “lights will go on” regarding the gift of his faith, and he’ll pray for the grace of humility and humbly go to confession. Another example of the neccessity of formal catecism.
