Glad to see it!

I hope it yields great fruit for her. 

But I always am wary when celebs or folks who rely on cliccs do something public like this.  Maybe I'm too cynical.

Laudetur I.C.

I think that it was at Brompton Oratory is a good sign, God willing.

I am a bit weary as well but her husband is Catholic and attends the TLM so I think it was bound to come and for the sake of their family.

Candace who?

Social media star in the US.  You'd like her views on Israel.  Put it this way, Ben Shapiro fired her.

There is a column in The Remnant about it too.

The fact that (((Lil Ben))) lost his shit because she tweeted "Christ is Lord," and then converts around 1-2 months later, is telling.

Twas "Christ is King" actually.  Interesting dynamic over at the Daily Wire since Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles are over there.

You're right. Thanks for the correction.

Candace is alright. She's a bit nonsensical at times to be honest, and I find her mildly annoying sometimes honestly. Her husband is a massive TLM proponent; and she seems to take her motherhood/feminine nature seriously. Which I can appreciate.

 I listened to her Andrew Tate interview which was kind of a sellout, if she was the strong moral figure some people claim she is she might have stood up for basic morality a bit more and 'stuck it to him' Andrew Tate is exceptionally smart and manipulative to be fair; and Candace is a woman after all. It was interesting definitely, although Tate showed no remorse for his past 'business' which honestly I wish Candace picked up on a bit more instead of the 'we've all made mistakes in our past' trope. Still though I have to respect her standing up for Christ the King and losing her job.

Screw that little f*g shapir0

I'm amazed nobody mentioned she's wearing pants!!!  Yes, I will hijack this into a "women wearing pants" conversation.

Russell Brand saying the Rosary
Candace and her husband Tom
Jordan Petersons wife
Shia le Beouf - which btw very soon fell apart after
Britany Spears - her instagram does't have the Catholic vibe so to speak!

Honestly I will pray for them but I'm not really sold on it, could be 'trusted voices' being set up for next whammy whatever that involves.  That being said, God is all powerful and good.

She's not Catholic in the snap (using the new lingo).  Once she converts, she'll burn her trousers.

What happened with Shia? Haven't heard anything.

Brand hasn't said he converted and Spears is probably clinically insane and merely made a video.

Shia did a full drag entrance publicly within a few weeks of his becoming a Catholic and his film on Padre Pio was awful.  I know Brand hasn't converted but he is saying the rosary on X and people don't discern if Spears is insane, they just hear she is Catholic.

This sort of thing is exactly why I give zero credence to celebrities "converting" or flirting with the Faith.

Not that it makes Shia's thing "good" but I thought that was from a movie he was working on or something. Not just him reverting to his previous weirdo ways.

Her husband was already a TLM Catholic (convert from COE) before they met; she was raised in a Reformed (Calvinist) family; was not really religious until she met her husband; he's brought her a long way; the best thing that can happen to both of them, is that she give up her job, and stay at home and raise her kids in the faith.

He is from a major major millionaire family in UK whose father is a House of Lords rep, just like Jacob Reese Mogg, come from aristocrat money.  Of course he could be genuine and I pray he is but these people are not the same as you and I.  Candace herself has a checkered history in the me too movement and tried to set up a doxing website for dating females.
All I am saying is that of course it is wonderful and God can work great miracles but I will reserve some of enthusiasm for now. 

As for Shia, he walked to the show albeit a couple of streets across from theatre afaik but it was public and unnecessary for his role to be out on the streets like that.  We haven't heard from him since and its quite possible he is taking time out to actually learn Catholicism.

All we can do is pray for them but I won't be fawning over their stories just yet.
Title: Re: Candance Owens Becomes Catholic
Post by: Greg on April 25, 2024, 05:46:17 AM
Shouldn't be fawning over any convert.  They're newbies after all.  In what other area of life does someone with all manner of experience, get mushy eyed and excited about some new person joining.  They might have zeal and enthusiasm but they don't have much else to offer.

What they are useful for is alerting other non-Catholics to the type of Catholicism that they are converting to.  But I don't see why those in the vineyard since daybreak need to bang pots and pans together in some sort of contrivance of pious joy.

Good for her.  I'm pleased for her.  I will, however, avoid her opinion on sedevacantism for the next 25 years.

She is now charging something like $5000 a minute, with a 15 minute minimum, for a video call. So, $75,000. Must be needing something to compensate for the (((Ben Bucks))).

Even high class hookers do not charge this much

It means exactly what I said. She is publicly charging $75,000 for 15 min video calls. Like cameo. This is on her Facebook.

If people are willing to pay it why not?  You charge what the market will bare.

Athletes charge at least that to sell aftershave and breakfast cereals and those paying it will make money from their advertisers and still clear a profit.

If she can get 5000 dollars a minute it is because someone thinks she is worth that.  She gets them views and clicks.

Good looking, articulate, black women are a rare commodity.  Especially African American ones.  Proper African they're easier to find.

True. The real dummy would be the person willing to spend it.

She is an intelligent woman, though.

she might well be worth 75,000 if you value her audience.  My daughter was at Chartres this year and Taylor Marshall was treated like a superstar there by the other pilgrims. mostly frogs of course.

He has more influence and credibility with Trads than all but a handful of bishops and Cardinals.  Celebrity and fame is real power make no mistake about that.
