Title: Norman Lear Converted to Catholicism at 100
Post by: Bonaventure on December 07, 2023, 10:11:27 AM
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 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea,_Massachusetts),[10] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lear#cite_note-10) his father went to prison for selling fake bonds.[11] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lear#cite_note-WNYC-Lopate-2014-11) Lear thought of his father as a "rascal" and said that the character of Archie Bunker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_Bunker) (whom Lear depicted as white Protestant on the show) was in part inspired by his father, while the character of Edith Bunker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Bunker) was in part inspired by his mother.[11] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lear#cite_note-WNYC-Lopate-2014-11) 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 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Coughlin) while tinkering with his crystal radio set.[12] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lear#cite_note-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 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lear#cite_note-13)

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lear#cite_note-13)Prominent right-wing Christians including Pat Robertson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Robertson), Jerry Falwell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Falwell), and Jimmy Swaggart (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Swaggart) have accused Lear of being an atheist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheist) and holding an anti-Christian bias.[92] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lear#cite_note-learrel09-92)[93] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lear#cite_note-learrel87-93) In the January 21, 1987, issue of The Christian Century (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Christian_Century), Lear associate Martin E. Marty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_E._Marty) (a Lutheran (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutheran) professor of church history at the University of Chicago Divinity School (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lear#cite_note-learrel87-93) Marty noted that while Lear and his family had never practiced Orthodox Judaism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodox_Judaism),[93] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lear#cite_note-learrel87-93) the television producer was a follower of Judaism.[93 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lear#cite_note-learrel87-93)

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lear#cite_note-learrel87-93)In a 2009 interview with US News (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._News_%26_World_Report) 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] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lear#cite_note-learrel09-92) In a 2014 interview with The Jєωιѕн Journal of Greater Los Angeles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lear#cite_note-94)

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

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.

I'm not saying Norman Lear converted or not, but it certainly could have happened. Notorious sinners ( and Jєωs) have had deathbed conversions. I pray it DID happen!


Matthew 20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
20 The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
2 And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place idle.
4 And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just.
5 And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did in like manner.
6 But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle?
7 They say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them: Go you also into my vineyard.
8 And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward: Call the labourers and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first.
9 When therefore they were come, that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
10 But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: and they also received every man a penny.
11 And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,
12 Saying: These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, that have borne the burden of the day and the heats.
13 But he answering said to one of them: Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny?
14 Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee.
15 Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? is thy eye evil, because I am good?
16 So shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.

If he did --- and I hope it is true --- I have to think that his publicists, as well as the mainstream media, would want to "keep it on the down low".  Mortimer Adler's conversion was too well-known to escape notice, ditto Lewis Lehrman and Bernard Nathanson, but for word to get out about, of all people, Norman Lear, well, that'd be a horrible thing for the secular left to have to admit.

The man did have a gift for crafting intelligent comedy-drama, I'll give him that.

To the bolded, what is the quality of their conversions? Did their Jєωιѕн family members disown them? Did they warn Catholics about the Jєωιѕн people?

As for Lear crafting intelligent comedy-drama, he was a hack. I'm hard-pressed to think of any Jews who aren't hacks. Jews aren't even that gifted at making money, as so many of them wouldn't be on welfare.

 I used to really enjoy watching Good Times because of the 70s humor. I think it accurately portrayed how the blacks sabotage themselves and have no loyalty to their community.
