'Good for you': Internet hails Candace Owens as she reveals she's converted to Catholicism
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: In a significant development that captured the internet's attention, Candace Owens, the renowned conservative commentator, recently announced her conversion to Catholicism, as per Newsweek.
Describing it as a "decision to go home," Owens completed her spiritual journey at the prestigious Brompton Oratory in the heart of London's exclusive Knightsbridge neighborhood, where she resides with her husband, George Farmer, a devout Catholic.
Recently, I made the decision to go home. There is of course so much more that went into this decision and that I plan to share in the future.

Candace Owens announces conversion to Catholicism on social media
Owens formerly aligned herself with the Reformed Evangelical Protestant faith tradition. Sharing her newfound faith on social media, Owens posted two photographs of herself holding a candle and posing with Father Julian Large.
"Recently, I made the decision to go home," she captioned the post. "There is of course so much more that went into this decision and that I plan to share in the future. But for now, praise be to God for His gentle, but relentless guiding of my heart toward Truth."
Quoting Scripture, Owens added, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. I do not fear. Christ is King."
Owens' path to Catholicism was a public one, with hints and glimpses along the way. From attending Mass with her family to engaging in theological debates on her podcast, 'The Candace Owens Show,' her spiritual evolution did not go unnoticed.
In a rare interview, Owens' husband Farmer recently shed light on their differing approaches to faith, noting Owens' public persona contrasted with his more reserved stance.
"We have different brands. She is very outward-facing, and pretty much everything she says becomes a news story, whereas I am exclusively interested in faith," Farmer revealed to the Catholic Herald.
