Recent news in e-Christian drama: Cameron, the host of Capturing Christianity, an Italian grifter married to a Nigerian princess, has suddenly remarked that he will be keeping his denominational affiliation private. This on the eve of his chrismation into the Papal Church, which both he and his friend Matt Fradd of popular Catholic podcast “Pints with Aquinas” made a spectacle of.

Why the sudden announcement? It seems to signal a change of heart and fear for his reputation.

The majority take: Cameron needed to make Capuring Christianity solvent, so he grifted a conversion to Catholicism for all it was worth until he squeezed out everything he could, and now that the gravy train has run out, he’s abandoning that community.

My opinion: My assessment of him has always been more favorable, but just as cynical. I think he was maliciously targeted and duped by his pop apologist friends (particularly Matt Fradd) into “accepting” a tradition he knew nothing about, and had no interest in learning. Throughout this whole parade, which has been largely promoted by others, not him, he has shown a basic lack of understanding of not only Roman custom and history, but his own. I think he’s legitimately not very smart and he got thrown into a situation before he even realized what he was doing, and only now is realizing the repercussions.
