Catholicism as a political identity, not a spiritual one âSkeptics acknowledge itâs impossible to divine othersâ true motivations, and even cynical conversions could prove transformative. God works in mysterious ways. But whatâs driving the Catholic groups eagerly welcoming celebrity converts seems less opaque. âItâs like the vice presidential nominee,â said Lewis. âTheyâre from this swing state or represent this demographic the candidate doesnât already have. It speaks to a much larger goal.â And in service of that goal, sincerity, or even actual belief, doesnât matter much.â https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/catholic-right-celebrity-conversion-industrial-complex
