Lifelong Secularist Jew Embraces Catholicism

Edit: it’s what Jones refers to as “Die List  Vernunft” where a Jewish daughter converts to Catholicism at Harvard and inspired her father to convert to Catholicism himself.

At Harvard a white lilly grows through the cracks in Boston Common.

We don’t know anything about the nature of Leer’s conversion, but I’d have more hope for his conversion than a lot of the cynics in the evil Bologna School and Magic Circle.

[PJ Media] After graduating from high school in Hartford, Con., Lear briefly attended college before enlisting in the Army Air Force and taking part in World War II. 

While some of his critics characterized Lear as a classic example of a Jewish agnostic, in 2022, in what might seem an unexpected move, Lear embraced the Catholic Faith and was baptized by a priest from the Dominican House of Studies. Lear was inspired by one of his daughters, who converted while at Harvard. Despite Lear's many controversial views and activities over the years, as with his comedies and political activism, he kept an open mind and, even at 100, demonstrated a willingness to change course, sometimes in a very surprising way.
