This article is a puff piece.
I’ve listened to Hewitt since he started in the morning, and before that when he filled in on KFI.
I am saddened to see what has become of him and can hardly listen to his show anymore.
He has, though, always been like this to some degree.
An interesting thing.
Hewitt had always been a protestant who was raised Catholic and from a Catholic family. He always made clear that he was a former Catholic and most identified with evangelicals.
In fact, one of the first times I noticed him and realized he was a Conservative or Republican was on his Sunday afternoon KFI show when he had Greg Laurie on as a guest.
Hewitt got his start on an LA PBS news show called Life and Times. I never watched the show, but because he was on it I figured he was just another liberal.
Back to religion. Hewitt always identified with evangelicals and as former Catholic, now Protestant. But over the past few months he has been talking about how he is Catholic and an active Catholic.
That’s an interesting transition back in to Catholicsm.
For those that don’t know, years ago, probably more than ten years ago, Hewitt used to mention Free Republic a lot and called Freepers the “Coast Watchers”. His engineer Duane had an account here he was active on (it still exists).
I’m glad that he went Catholic rather than Mormon.
