Actor and comedian Rob Schneider revealed that he had converted to Catholicism. On October 31, he wrote a message on X expressing his thanks to people who wished him on his 60th birthday, in which he referred to himself as “a new convert to Catholicism.” The post has since received over 66,000 likes.
Schneider was born on October 31, 1963, in San Francisco, California. His mother, Pilar Monroe, was of Filipino descent and a Catholic. His father, Marvin Schneider, was Jewish by religion. Schneider is best known for his work on the sketch comedy show "Saturday Night Live" and for his roles in various comedy films. Schneider has often collaborated with fellow comedian Adam Sandler and has appeared in several Sandler-produced films.
In addition to his acting career, Schneider is known for his stand-up comedy and has released comedy albums. He's also been involved in various television projects and has done voice acting for animated films and TV series. He is also known for his philanthropic work, including supporting various charitable organizations.
Schneider’s conversion is the second prominent Catholic conversion announcement of this week. A few days ago, podcaster Tammy Peterson, the wife of the famous Canadian clinical psychologist and author Jordan Peterson, revealed to Canada based Catholic Register that she had been going through the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) in preparation to become a Catholic next Easter.
