Prominent conservative political commentator, Candace Owens, has announced that she has joined the Catholic Church, vowing to provide more details about what led to her conversion in the future.
Candace Owens, a conservative political commentator who formerly worked for The Daily Wire, took to X on Monday to announce that “Recently, I made the decision to go home.” While she did not explicitly elaborate on what she meant in her post, images accompanying her announcement show Owens standing next to a Catholic priest at a Catholic Church.
“There is of course so much more that went into this decision and that I plan to share in the future,” Owens added. “But for now, praise be to God for His gentle, but relentless guiding of my heart toward Truth.”
Owens shared the Bible passage Isaiah 41:10: “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.” She concluded her post by proclaiming, “I do not fear,” adding, “Christ is king,” accompanied by a symbol of the cross.
The post is accompanied by a photo of Owens dressed in a baptismal gown at the Brompton Oratory with the Very Revd Julian Large, the provost of the Oratory community. The Brompton Oratory stands as the second-largest Catholic church in London and home to a strong Latin Mass community.
In 2019, Owens, previously a reformed Evangelical, married George Farmer, also a convert to Catholicism. They have three children and recently baptised their youngest.
