Robert Herguth is a long-time reporter (currently with the Chicago Sun-Times) and has spent the last several years asking famous people how growing up Catholic affected their lives. The stories are far from universal. Some of the celebrities remain devout Catholics, others have found another path to spirituality. But either way many of them were deeply influenced in one way or another by their Catholic upbringing.
The list of celebrities is impressive: Mario Andretti, Sal Bando, Megan Barry, Andrea Bocelli, Jimmy Breslin, Jerry Brown, James Carville, Joaquin Castro, Pat Connaughton, Billy Corgan, Wayne Coyne, Kevin Cronin, Dana Delany, Brian Dennehy, Adam Devine, Mike Ditka, Rich Donnelly, Josh Duhamel, Mike Eruzione, Alejandro Escovedo, Fabio, Tyler Flowers, Neil Giraldo, Bob Guccione Jr., Bianca Jagger, Brian Kelly, Keegan-Michael Key, Jeff Kinney, Dennis Kucinich, Theodore McCarrick, Doug McDermott, Michael O’Keefe, Louie Perez, Paul Ryan, Jane Sanders, Don Shula, Keith Thibodeaux, Isiah Thomas, Bobby Vinton and Larry Wilmore.
