Rambling: Catholic Convert and Catholic Cardinal

Gavin McInnes breaks down the reason comedians hate Trump: [Comedians: Doing the Jobs Happy Americans Won't Do](http://takimag.com/article/comedians%5Fdoing%5Fthe%5Fjobs%5Fhappy%5Famericans%5Fwont%5Fdo%5Fgavin%5Fmcinnes/print?ref=thedailyeudemon.com#axzz42cbvIx9N). Note: This might be the most colorful article I've ever linked to, so viewer discretion advised. Sample: *"Comedians are deeply scarred human beings who shudder at the very idea of a family. They're not pro”“gay marriage because they give a shit about two random homos who want to \*\*\*\* everything that moves while pretending they live for matrimony. They're pro”“gay marriage because they're anti-marriage because they're anti-family because their childhood sucked."*

That article (among others I'd read by him) prompted me to find out more about McInnes. It turns out he converted to Catholicism a few years back.

I was going to buy his book of memoirs (which was published before his conversion), but the first Amazon review made me "shelve" that idea: "The sex parts are probably the biggest problem I have with the book, as it depicts things greatly in detail, on par with a Penthouse Forum or trashy erotica." I try not to venture anywhere near erotica, which makes it challenging to watch, say, most commercials during sports broadcasts and ABC Family. So I instead bought myself this humdinger: [*Modern Philosophy: An Introduction and Survey*](http://amzn.to/1MfM4rA?ref=thedailyeudemon.com), by Roger Scruton. On Kindle, just $4.61 for a 600+ page book. And I might even read it.

Worth a look: [The unstoppable rise of Cardinal Sarah](http://catholicherald.co.uk/commentandblogs/2016/03/10/the-unstoppable-rise-of-cardinal-sarah/?utm%5Fcontent=buffer9c799&utm%5Fmedium=social&utm%5Fsource=twitter.com&utm%5Fcampaign=buffer). "*Cardinal Sarah, a second-generation Christian, is a man who combines an authentic claim to come from the ecclesiastical margins so beloved of Pope Francis with a deep grasp of the cultural and theological patrimony which the old continent disseminated along with its political and economic hegemony*."
