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…

Trent Horn

Trent Horn is one of the newest apologists at Catholic Answers and recently took up residence in the greatest city in America, San Diego. He recently launched a new blog TrentHorn.com:

It’s a bit bare at the moment, but I’d invite you to subscribe to his blog now as I’m sure the upcoming content will be top notch. If you want to get a feel for the kind of stuff which will be appearing there in the future, you can check out his appearances on Catholic Answers, as well as find many videos of him on YouTube discussing pro-life issues and debating atheists.

Oh yes, and it’s his birthday today. Happy birthday Trent 🙂
