dUSt Posted December 29, 2003 Author Posted December 29, 2003 Okay, so are you guys who are listing these Catholics volunteering to do the write-up about them? Cool! I hope you have them to me by the end of January. Thanks for the help.
mp15 Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 Dom DeLuise is Catholic. Dom DeLuise first broke into the entertainment industry in the early 1960s with numerous roles on and off Broadway and has since become an American icon, best known for his work over the years with director Mel Brooks (The Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, Silent Movie, History of the World – Part I, and Robin Hood: Men in Tights) and as sidekick to good friend Burt Reynolds (Smokey and the Bandit II, Cannonball Run I & II, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and The End). In the last few years, DeLuise has also become known as a best-selling author, writing two "Eat This" cookbooks, as well as his well-received children's books, "Charlie the Caterpillar", "Goldilocks", "King Bob's New Clothes", and "The Nightingale." DeLuise is particularly devoted to Mary. "I collect Blessed Mothers statues," says DeLuise. "They give me comfort. The Blessed Mother is someone I pray to all the time. In fact, I use her as a mantra. When I'm in my car and there's traffic, I pray the Hail Mary."
Ash Wednesday Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 (edited) Count me in, I would love to help. I'm always sniffing around to find out celebrities and how they approach their Catholic faith (or lack of...) I would also advise having a "grey" rating for celebrities known to be Catholic but whose stances on the faith in their life (living or dead) are not certain (at posting... obviously as more information becomes available that rating can change...) Or is that what the yellow is about? Silly me!!!!!!! One of my FAVORITE actresses, Moira Kelly is a Catholic -- she attends confession monthly and consults a priest on her roles in movies. There was a wonderful article on her in YOU! Magazine (Catholic teen magazine) in the early 90s. I really loved it. Edited December 29, 2003 by Ash Wednesday
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 Look what I found: http://www.geocities.com/catholic_prayer/fc_list.html I call the write-up on Knute Rockne!
mp15 Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 Ok then, I make the call on Rocky Marciano. So there :P
MrsFrozen Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 Dom DeLuise is Catholic. Darn! You took mine! :P
MrsFrozen Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 Okay, I'm going to write one on Selma Hayek. She was raised in a conservative Catholic family. God bless! :)
Sojourner Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 OK, I'm going to make a disclaimer here that I'm not a fan of Jennifer Lopez, but I have read that she grew up Catholic, and may still lay some claim to the name. I'll do the research and get back to you on it.
nikkan_hanil Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 Hmm...I guess you guys didn't take me seriously when I dropped that topic about all those Catholic Korean celeberties...<_<
Ash Wednesday Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 Nikkan, I didn't think you were joking! South Korea has become one of the most staunchly Christian nations in Asia. Sojourner -- What we DO know, is that J-Lo has a diamond studded toilet seat that rivals the kinds of things you see in the Vatican museum.... :toilet:

the_rev Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 Ok, I forgot I signed up, well let me go do it right now. Could I also do Brett Farve, since I know him, I could do a great article about him! Could I do tow?
the_rev Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 Here is my research on Michael Badalucco: Michael Badalucco is surely an outstanding Catholic. Michael at a young age was raised a Catholic, became an altar boy, and attended Catholic schools. Michael credits his strong faith in God today to his parents, for taking the time to introduce him to God, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, along with all the saints. During the summer a talk show called “Personally Speaking“, hosted by Msgr. Jim Lisante, featured three Catholics, they were; Dom DeLuise Catherine Hicks, Michael Badalucco. This show was on NBC, and was actually aired three times, because everyone wanted to see it more than once. I myself was unable to watch it due to a retreat. Michael recently married Brenda Heyob. Michael told Brenda that they would not live together, because one of Michael’s teachers who was a religious sister, said that they should stay apart until marriage, to see if their love is strong. Badalucco’s philosophy is rooted in his devout Catholic upbringing, to which he remains very committed. During the interview, he opened his planner to show Msgr. a picture of Brenda, and interspersed among the photos of their nieces and nephews were several prayer cards with pictures of saints on them. The planner painted a vivid picture of Badalucco’s values: family, church, and the busy schedule of an actor who’s balancing a television career and a movie career. The values that guide his personal and professional life also define his self-image. So, from the evidence presented, Michael today, is a strong Catholic, practicing his faith on an every day basis!
Sojourner Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 What does that mean? No way J. Lo is Catholic (currently). Well, I'm not finding much about her faith today; she grew up Catholic, her first marriage was Catholic and she was trying to get it annulled so she could get married to Ben Affleck in the Catholic Church. Does that count as her claiming to be Catholic?
Sojourner Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Oh, and an interesting sidenote to this research is that I found that Jim Caviezel, who played opposite J-Lo in "Angel Eyes" and is currently playing the role of Jesus in "The Passion of the Christ" is purported to be a devout Catholic. I'll do some more research on him.
Lil Red Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Well, I'm not finding much about her faith today; she grew up Catholic, her first marriage was Catholic and she was trying to get it annulled so she could get married to Ben Affleck in the Catholic Church. Does that count as her claiming to be Catholic? but what about her second marriage to Cris Judd? Where did you find this stuff?
nikkan_hanil Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 The world is really wierd nowadays...-_-
