Norman Lear Converted to Catholicism at 100

    • Shocked to hear this. Especially considering many of his shows pushed leftist agendas, including an episode of "Maude" wherein the murdering of children (i.e., abortion) was normalized.

    But... just goes to show... it's never too late to convert to the one, true Catholic and apostolic Church. See, e.g., Matthew 20:1-16.


    "While some of his critics characterized Lear as a classic example of a Jєωιѕн agnostic, in 2022, in what might seem an unexpected move, Lear embraced the Catholic Faith and was baptized by a priest from the Dominican House of Studies. Lear was inspired by one of his daughters, who converted while at Harvard."

    • Is there any other corroboration of this?

    It would be a great thing if indeed it happened, but I can only find it from this one source.  I don't imagine the MSM would be too keen to let people know this.

    Yes, I would like corroboration as well.  If true, it would be another opportunity for me to bring up baptism to my 91-year-old mother.

    *** A little more info about him -

    When Lear was nine years old and living with his family in Chelsea, Massachusetts,[10] his father went to prison for selling fake bonds.[11] Lear thought of his father as a "rascal" and said that the character of Archie Bunker (whom Lear depicted as white Protestant on the show) was in part inspired by his father, while the character of Edith Bunker was in part inspired by his mother.[11] However, Lear has said the moment which inspired his lifetime of advocacy was another event which he experienced at the age of nine, when he first came across antisemitic Catholic radio priest Father Charles Coughlin while tinkering with his crystal radio set.[12] After hearing more of Coughlin's radio sermons, Lear said he found Coughlin would promote antisemitism by targeting people whom Jєωs considered to be "great heroes", such as US President Franklin Roosevelt.[13

    Prominent right-wing Christians including Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Jimmy Swaggart have accused Lear of being an atheist and holding an anti-Christian bias.[92][93] In the January 21, 1987, issue of The Christian Century, Lear associate Martin E. Marty (a Lutheran professor of church history at the University of Chicago Divinity School between 1963 and 1998) rejected those allegations, stating the television producer honored religious moral values and complimenting Lear's understanding of Christianity.[93] Marty noted that while Lear and his family had never practiced Orthodox Judaism,[93] the television producer was a follower of Judaism.[93

    In a 2009 interview with US News journalist Dan Gilgoff, Lear rejected claims by right-wing Christian nationalists that he was an atheist and prejudiced against Christianity. Lear held religious beliefs and integrated some evangelical Christian language into his Born Again American campaign. He believed that religion should be kept separate from politics and policymaking.[92] In a 2014 interview with The Jєωιѕн Journal of Greater Los Angeles journalist Rob Eshman, Lear described himself as a "total Jєω" but said he was never a practicing one.[94]

    This just looks like it's coming from the same link in the OP.

    Means something that another article from another source corroborated the information by repeating it, though the information is the same.

    Prayers for your mother! Have you tried a miraculous medal and the story of Alphonse Ratisbonne?

    • I hope that’s the case, but it seems very unlikely to me. We need more corroboration.

    • Let’s recall the memorable Cathinfo troll Poche?

    Poche had many tricks to elicit sympathy from naive Catholics.

    One of them was to make-up death bed conversion stories of notorious Jєωs.
    One example was the murdering tyrant, Plutarco Calles president of Mexico.

    Nicknamed, “Burner of Priests”, Calles, the bastard son of a Sephardic Jєω was responsible for the Cristeros war, which killed 90,000 people, including 4,000 Catholic priests.

    Poche defended Calles, by putting “cake icing” on his unrepentant image by claiming he had an deathbed conversion. 

    Although, no evidence could be found to corroborate the claim, it sounded good and made Cathinfo members think Calles was not such a bad Jєω after all.

    The Jєω loves playing the goy for suckers… till their final breath 😊

    Norman Lear’s life was dedicated to judaizing American culture. 

    Jesus Christ and Catholicism were his enemies.

    • It seems every few months a new thread pops up with some "miraculous" conversion to the Catholic faith of a notorious person.  With little or no evidence of course. And then anyone who questions the veracity of the report is shamed.

    As was mentioned Lear has admitted that the character of Archie Bunker was based on his Jєωιѕн father. It begs the question, then why not make All in the Family a show about a Jєωιѕн family in Queens and admit to the press that it's autobiographical?

    Because the modus operandi of Jews in recent times is to trick the non-white world into viewing whitey as the mortal enemy and jews as the best buddies of non-whites.

    I get a kick out of incidences of non-whites turning on Jews, like those Guatemalan peasant years ago that expelled Jews from their village. Or the black guy who punched Rick Moranis' lights out. I'd like to think he knew he was punching a Jew and not a white gentile, but he probably didn't. Still it's fun to see Jews enjoy the rewards of their propaganda.

    As I suspect a Black Yankee might say of the event:

    • Even if this story is true, did he convert to the Catholic Faith or to the church that officially teaches that Jews don't really need to convert to be saved?

      Norman, the liberal deathbed Catholic



    Plutarco Calles "rests' in the tallest
    mausoleum in the world, that honors Mexico's 
    revolutionaries. (Monumento a la Revolución).



     For his actions that portray him as anti-clerical, Calles was denounced by Pope Pius XI (r. 1922–1939) in the encyclical Iniquis afflictisque (On the Persecution of the Church in Mexico) as being "unjust", for a "hateful" attitude and for the "ferocity" of the war which he waged against the Church.[68]
