The atheist sounds like the Catholic and Piers Morgan sounds like the babbling, left-wing lunatic that he is.

Penn Jillette is intellectually honest.

He’s also intellectually gifted, and an awesome debater.

Well, I’m not a Catholic - I’m Jewish, but from this exchange I think it is pretty clear that Piers Morgan is not a Catholic either.

Picking from the two I think I’d rather see Penn Jillette sitting beside me in church than that clown Piers Morgan.

That was my assessment as well.

I don’t think Jillette “destroyed” Morgan but, rather, he simply brought him back to the substance of what a confessing Catholic ought to believe. If not, then they are not Catholic. The lie exists when deceivers are allowed to enter into a body and “co-opt” the purpose and direction of that body. Fools like Morgan (not really smart enough to understand subversion) simply provide useful idiot static that resonates with other thoughtless and oh-so-smarmy dolts that want their cake and eat it, too.

there are a LOT of different religions out there, so if somebody doesn't agree with the Church... JOIN ANOTHER ONE!!!

they don't call it dogma for nothing, so stop trying to bastardize it and just quit already

I see many ‘Piers Morgans’ as Sunday Morning Mass as well as a few on the Altar at some of the Churches I’ve attended.

Jillette is logically explaining what Catholics believe. Catholics give obedience to the Pope and Magisterium as the leaders of the Church, which is Christ's representative and body on Earth after his Ascension. He does not believe in what he is expounding, but Jillette is correct. Morgan is just willfully ignorant. He seems to think of the Church as a social club which one chooses to attend or not, depending on which popular music they are playing that week.

Penn Jillette is one of the few public atheists who’s not in a constant state of misery or outrage.

I’ve been telling my Cafeteria Catholic acquaintances this for years. Funny to see the same point articulated by an atheist on CNN.

That was very good. Thanks for posting this, otherwise I never would have seen it. I avoid Morgan religiously.

This video is helpful for understanding and I find myself in agreement with what I heard from Jillette. Otoh, I have heard many Catholics and atheists alike echoing Morgan almost verbatim.

The Morgans are all too common in this world, but I am surprised to find out he could be so relevant, though perhaps it wasn't him so much as his guest who was relevant.

With the patience of a saint. (or someone saint-like).
Seriously, I saw him on a clip from ... I'm going to say "The View", but they're all alike ... and the women kept interrupting and jumping on his statements and he kept to his message and his argument, neither taking the bait nor raising his voice to match their shrillness. He stayed cool throughout. You have to admire that in an age when every debate is a shout-fest of zingers.

Yup. If Piers Morgan doesn’t like what the Catholic church teaches, he’s more than free to leave. No one is stopping him.

Come to think of it, the same could be said to him about his opposition to our Constitutionally protected guns...

Just my two bits.

It is abundantly clear that Morgan cannot think critically or rationally at all on any topic.

Morgan’s thinking that the Eternal Church should change with the times is in line with his thinking that the Second Amendment can be ‘reinterpreted’ out of existence.

Yup. That’s Progressivism for ya’; Through force, bullying, and fiat, they want to change everything to their own liking, without any regard for those who are happy with the way things are.

Cheers!
