Rob Schneider opens up about his conversion to Catholicism and reveals the moment that triggered his newfound faith
Comedian Rob Schneider revealed that it was the 'evil' he witnessed during the COVID-19 pandemic that awakened his spirit to receive Christianity and ultimately decide to convert to Catholicism.
In an interview with the Christian Post's Leah Klett, Schneider discussed how contending with the 'organized evil' he saw during that multi-year stretch led him to his faith.
The actor did not specify what he meant by 'organized evil.'
Back in October, Schneider turned 60, which he saw as an opportunity to announce to his followers and the world his newfound religiosity.
In vague terms, Schneider alludes throughout the interview to a threat that is literally and spiritually threatening the American way of life.
Comedian Rob Schneider has been speaking about his recent conversion to Catholicism
He says more than once he feels it is 'important right now' for freedom and liberty loving citizens to emphasize faith, strength, and forgiveness, but also a 'steely resistance to evil' in their lives.
'And I think it's really important that people arm themselves - and I mean that physically - but I also mean that spiritually, for what's coming,' he added.
He underscored a message of preparedness and faith, saying, 'It is time to get closer to God,' and to select leaders who will 'stand up to tyranny.'
He discussed society's current propensity toward cancel culture, and how forgiveness is not a value being taught or utilized at present.
He also noted that he believes people are currently 'being misled and used for agendas ... to feed into a system that is corrupt.'
Offering no specifics, he gave a vague allusion to the co-opting of mental health in America, and the systems of corruption revealing themselves to people who are paying attention.
At the time of the interview, the actor's latest comedic film 'Daddy Daughter Trip' had just arrived on Netflix.
'I wanted to make a movie my wife would let my kids see,' said Schneider, whose most famous role in his body of work is likely Deuce Bigalow, in the 1999 comedy 'Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.'

Schneider has been married three times, and is the father of country singer Elle King, as well as two younger kids with his current wife.
His more recent work has tended more toward the family friendly genre.
He told Klett he wants to make his audience 'laugh, think, and feel like you're watching a real family,' which he feels he succeeded in doing with his latest live action flick.
In terms of his work moving forward, the comedian said he's not sure if his newfound faith will drastically influence his material.
He said his work will 'look different than before,' adding that he's thinking about removing dirty words from his stand-up sets.
He also spoke about a project he is hoping to move forward with about the Shroud of Turin, which many Catholics believe is the piece of burial cloth that was wrapped around Jesus following his crucifixion.
