The Resume

    (October 28, 1957- )
    Born in United States
    Catholic convert and apologist, author of numerous bestsellers including Rome Sweet Home and The Lamb's Supper
    Teaches at Franciscan University of Steubenville and is a regular contributer to EWTN
    BA with a triple major in theology, philosophy, and economics from Grove City College
    MDiv in Biblical Theology from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary
    PhD in Biblical Theology from Marquette
    Responsible for a movement that has brought thousands of protestants including clergy into the Catholic Church

Why he might be annoying:

    His story of his journey from anti-Catholic protestant fundamentalist to Catholic apologist and evangelist varies greatly from telling to telling.
    He still dresses like a fundamentalist preacher, i.e. badly.
    He has terrible hair.
    His PhD dissertation was 700 pages long!

Why he might not be annoying:

    He's been married over 30 years and has six children.
    His journey and popularity are due to his willingness to listen to other points of view and a desire to learn the truth no matter where it might lead.
    When he first considered joining the Catholic Church, a (soon to be former) friend advised his wife to divorce him.
    He's a gentlemanly and outstanding debater.
    His book and dvd sales are in the millions.
    He's hosted several very popular series on EWTN.
    He ticks off Catholic priests and bishops who are mad the Catholic laity turn to him for the guidance/information they are too dumb and/or lazy to provide for the laity themselves.
    He really ticks off anti-Catholic fundamentalists who consider him a traitor and smear him every chance they get.
    He also ticks off cafeteria Catholics who hate his defense of Catholic orthodoxy and secular anti-Catholics for the same reason.
