Waltzing with Hurricanes
Everyone seems to know that Jim Caviezel is Catholic, a factor that seems to have been extremely important in helping him get through one of the most difficult acting situations ever.
His portrayal of Jesus in the Passion of the Christ seems to have moved the world in a new way, a stroke of brilliance on the part of Mel Gibson.
There are other Catholic celebrities, each doing their own little bit, perhaps to much less effect, but nevertheless doing an outreach of some type. We bring them to you here.
Can a person oppose the Church and still be Catholic?
Big question with celebrities!
Some like Madonna were born Catholic, and even mock Catholicism; others like Jim Caviezel make the Church a big part of their lives.
What do you think makes a person Catholic, really?

- Tony Blair's Conversion
- Some lawyers believe the 1829 Emancipation Act, which gave Roman Catholics full civil rights, may still prevent a Catholic from becoming prime minister.
Clauses in the Act state that no Catholic adviser to the monarch can hold civil or military office.
Mr Blair's conversion will be controversial in the Catholic community because as an MP Mr Blair voted for abortion at up to 24 weeks which was publicly condemned by the late Cardinal Thomas Winning of Scotland. He also supported civil partnerships for homosexual couples. - Dick Van Dyke

- Brett Favre, Catholic Hero
- Earlier this month, legendary Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre announced his retirement after seventeen years in the NFL. He walked away holding most of the major records at his position, and as much as any athlete of his time he attracted not just admiration but veneration, inspiring even a "Packers Prayer" ("Our Favre . . . Hallowed be thine arm"). Favre has become a football deity, but he has also achieved the status of an exemplary American Catholic.

In a recent Rolling Stone interview Brian Hiatt quotes Bono as saying "Magnificent was inspired by the Magnificat, a passage from the Gospel of Luke in the voice of the Virgin Mary that was previously set to music by Bach. "There's this theme running through the album of surrender and devotion and all the things I find really difficult," Bono says. "All music for me is worship of one kind or another."

Joe Garagiola
- Joe Garagiola %uFFFD A man of great humor and deep faith - Catholic Online
- Joe said that he heard Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen say on television one evening that in a family, if you want to ask your parents for something you go first to your mother. Joe said that after he met Archbishop Sheen and they had become good friends, he told him how much that advice meant. Archbishop Sheen said that he was simply passing on what the gospel story about the wedding feast at Cana told us. The servants told Mary that they had run out of wine, she told Jesus and then told the servants to do as Jesus instructed. She knew he'd listen to her request and, Archbishop Sheen told Joe, that's the lesson for us - talk to Mary first.
