Video: A Busted Haloes interview with Mary Karr
We hear so many stories about people leaving church in disillusionment. Here is the story of a woman’s journey in the other direction. Mary Karr, best-selling memoirist and poet, is interviewed by Fr. Dave Dwyer for the program Busted Haloes. She talks about her conversion, having journeyed from unbelief to finding a spiritual home in the Roman Catholic expression of Christianity, and her sincere desire to live as a Christian in her daily life in spite of the questions and challenges we all face.
Thank you so much, Letha, for finding and posting this video as the link of the day. I admire Mary Karr as a memoirist of great humor and honesty, but I didn’t know she had become a believer. What good news! I loved her tale of how her kid led her to church and also the story of the humble priest who dealt with her questions and issues with the church.
