"Donut Man" converts to Catholicism
Crossed the Tiber ^ | Monday, August 28, 2006

Posted on 09/14/2006 6:53:34 AM PDT by Aquinasfan

NEWS FLASH!! Another Tiber Jumper!

Renowned Christian entertainer and recording artist, Rob Evans AKA "The Donut Man" has come home! Just this past Easter he was received into the Catholic Church! I remember how my kids grew up listening to the Donut Man and when I close my eyes I can still hear "I like the Bible, I like the Bible, cuz I read it and I do it......."

Congrats Mr. Donut Man! We will pray for you and look forward to even greater opportunities for your ministry.

To see the story of Rob's journey home to the Catholic Church see him tell his story on EWTN's Journey Home on September 11th, 2006. Go to EWTN's website: http://www.ewtn.com/journeyhome/index.asp You can listen live on the web or watch on your local cable TV station if they carry EWTN. programming. You can go to Rob's Donut Man Website at www.donutman.com

Great news! I heard about this on Theresa Tomeo's show, but couldn't find anything more informative on the web.

Congratulations Rob!

Who's next, Jimmy Gourd and Jerry Gourd?

One never knows. It could be one of the people who rant against the Catholic Church here on FR!

All we can do is pray for them.

"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen"

An excellent idea. Usually I'm praying for myself, for patience.

No reason I can't do both. :)

And what would one expect?

There are a lot of holes in this story.

Rob Evans' swimming the Tiber is a huge victory for Catholicism and EWTN. I'm sure TBN will never recover from their loss.

It's only a matter of time. I hear Junior Asparagus has been a closet Catholic for years...

a huge victory for Catholicism

How do we record that on the scorecard? We are keeping score, aren't we?

Here's a commentary on this item "from a more reformed and baptistic viewpoint".
