Atheist Tells 'Catholic' How It Really Is


Every Day Is An Atheist Holiday

Piers Morgan quite proudly proclaims that he is a Catholic.  Yet he seems, like many cultural Catholics today, to lack any real understanding of our Catholic Faith.  He also seems to be a selective Catholic.  This is obvious from this video clip of Piers Morgan interviewing Penn Jillette.

What is amazing is how Penn Jillette, author of “Every Day Is An Atheist Holiday”, actually does seem to get Catholics.  Jillette certainly does a damn fine job of telling Piers Morgan that possibly, just possibly, Piers Morgan is not really a Catholic after all.  Maybe Piers Morgan is something else . . . Lutheran . . .?


I think Penn Jillette could in fact be speaking to many cultural Catholics today.  It really is unacceptable that one claims to be a Catholic but then only selectively accepts our Catholic beliefs! 

Catholics who don’t accept Catholic beliefs, yet insist that they’re Catholic, are just confusing themselves and the rest of the world.  They’re doing the Catholic faith a tremendous injustice.  Come on, have the courage to say sorry but I am not Catholic because I actually disagree with what you guys believe.  I promise Catholics won’t think any less of you.
