Socrates Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 [quote name='dUSt' post='1440545' date='Dec 31 2007, 01:59 PM']Actually, when phatmass had a Catholic Celebrity section, it drew a ton of visitors, and if my memory serves me correctly, it drew a few people into the phorum who became big posters... so, yeah, there is merit in this thread.[/quote] Paris Hilton is Catholic!!!! Omg! OMG! O M G!!!!! That is like so totally cool!!! That is like so totally freakin' COOL!!! Paris rocks!!!! Catholics rock!!! YEAH PARIS!!!!!!!!!!! (Sorry dUSt, just needed to get that out of my system. I'm fine now, I really am.)

Ash Wednesday Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Praying for all of these people, living and dead!
let_go_let_God Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 [quote name='Ash Wednesday' post='1440651' date='Dec 31 2007, 03:36 PM']Don't forget Herb Brooks, the coach behind the Miracle on Ice.

Robert Smith, musician.[/quote] + Robert Smith as in lead musician of the Cure? Interesting. Next I suppose it will be depeche mode, although, that wouldn't necessarily be all that surprising. I wonder about Natalie Merchant also.
Ash Wednesday Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 An interesting one: [b]Bob Hope.[/b] Converted years before his death and apparently was a Catholic in good standing. He was made a Knight Commander of St. Gregory by the Vatican for his philanthropy work he did along with his wife. I don't think anyone in Depeche Mode ever were, but admittedly the mention of Robert Smith made me laugh and brings me back to brooding teenage years. Cheer up, Robert!
Ash Wednesday Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 [img]http://www258.pair.com/denarius/images/ponch.jpg[/img] Ponch. Eric Estrada and family are often seen at St. Charles Borromeo in Hollywood.

Now to get out my collection of the "Road" movies. . .

You can guess who donated the funds for it: [url="http://www.nationalshrine.com/site/apps/nl/content2.asp?c=etITK6OTG&b=309286&ct=160562"]http://www.nationalshrine.com/site/apps/nl...6&ct=160562[/url] [quote name='Ash Wednesday' post='1442983' date='Jan 7 2008, 12:51 PM']I don't think anyone in Depeche Mode ever were, but admittedly the mention of Robert Smith made me laugh and brings me back to brooding teenage years.

missionarybelle Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 also, has anyone ever heard the Catholic-A Song by Brian Butler it just kinda goes through tons of famous Catholics
corban711 Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Mike Sweeney (Kansas City Royals) is definitely Catholic. He even came and spoke to the confirmation students at my parish!!! I've heard that Craig Biggio (from the Houston Astros) is Catholic but wasn't able to find out for sure about that one. My little sister said that Nicholas Sparks (author of The Notebook, A Walk to Remember,etc) is Catholic too. I don't know how she knows it but she says its true
Falcon Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 How about Enrico Pallazzo? He might be Catholic......Sorry, funny movie too.
