Norman Lear, the famous writer and producer, behind such classic television hits such as “All in the Family” and “The Jeffersons” converted to Catholicism last year at 100 years old.
I love hearing news like this.
PJ Media: While some of his critics characterized Lear as a classic example of a Jewish 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, a source familiar with the situation told PJ Media. Lear was inspired by one of his daughters, who converted while at Harvard. Despite Lear’s many controversial views and activities over the years, as with his comedies and political activism, he kept an open mind and, even at 100, demonstrated a willingness to change course, sometimes in a very surprising way.
God bless him.
