Former Clinton Advisor Dick Morris Another Recent Convert

According to the Pro-Life Infonet, former Clinton advisor Dick Morris has also converted to Catholicism. Monsignor James Lisante, director of The Christophers, spoke at the National Right to Life convention in Pittsburgh of recent discussions he had with Morris.

Morris, who engineered President Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign and found himself the butt of jokes after he was caught with a prostitute, "made a significant change in his life recently," Monsignor Lisante said, "and has re-evaluated his faith and deeds following a conversion to Catholicism."

As a Clinton advisor, Morris told Lisante he had "fallen into a pit of moral relativism" and began making decisions, like Clinton, based on immoral personal satisfaction. But now he has turned his life over to Christ in the Roman Catholic Church.

Hmmm. Mark Levin, Lawrence Kudlow, Dick Morris. A lot of Jews to Jesus lately.

has re-evaluated his faith and deeds...

I hate to be a pessimist, but here's another conversion from one legalistic system (Judaism, of all stripes) to another--Roman Catholicism.

Relying for a relationship to God based on Faith PLUS my good deeds equals heresy. Good deeds are the fruit of true faith, not its suplement--by which alone we gain heaven.

Why can't we trust Christ alone?

That's great. Morris has been making more and more sense over the last few years. Obviously he's been moving to a higher state of awareness, and the conversion is a next logical step.

Do you have any source on Mark Levin. I did a google search and couldn't turn anything up.

Hmmmm...

I remember Jane Fonda having a religious "awakening" as well. It may be true, but she's still a leftist whacknut. Morris has always been a calculating opportunist.

The best way we can trust Christ is not ignoring what He teaches in the Gospel.

I don't know about Levin, but Kudlow did convert. He's a VERY devout Catholic.

I guess it a good thing that Christ is the judge.

Kudlow interview in The American Spectator several months ago is the source; my source on Levin was a remark that el Rushbo made a few years ago, so I may be on a bit of shakier ground when it comes to The Great One. Perhaps another Freeper can coroborate or prove me wrong...

Same with Larry Flynt. That happens a lot with the more individualistic sects of Christianity, where enthusiasm is more highly valued and there is less authoritative guidance. But it's my experience that when someone converts to Catholicism, you can usually take it to the bank--at least as far as their public life is concerned. Christ will judge the rest.

Did he take a poll before deciding to convert?

Don't worry. You simply don't understand Catholicism, that's all.
