An Italian Capucin monk went to a Metallica concert 15 years ago and his life was forever changed. He is still a Capucin monk, only now he is also the lead singer in an Italian heavy metal band. The quote in the subject line is from one of his band-mates.
The monk says: “I am religious. I am a priest. But I don’t play to draw people closer to Christ, or the church, or to religion. I do it to convert people to life.”
Rock on, friar.
(Thanks for pointing to this, Ernie.)
I am so making those little devil fingers with my pinkie and index finger right now.
hahahahaha I love it when he does that gesture. In his friar’s robe and beard.
I am the Metal Messiah. \m/
In other news, Marilyn Manson opened an Ecumenical Supply company–“not to draw people to the Church, but to open their eyes to a different way of dressing.”
