Two articles that are not hammering the catholic faith. I'm impressed. It would be a much better site if IC keep a balance in all things. We need uplifting articles as well. It's no fun leaving the site been depressed most of the time.

As far as we have seen, his life has been anything but catholic! He has it all and now he loves god because god has helped him! So, other people who have nothing in life should not thank this God? Honestly, I think he is talking lots of rubbish! I am not religious but if I was, I'd be very angry at people like him! Well at least he is hot!

I think Mrs Sadler should realize he is and actor and the roles he plays are in no way a reflection on his deep personal beliefs.We all make choices everyday and its very puritanical of her to criticize him. In this day and age one should be commended on sharing from the heart and giving hope to other who face difficult situations. In fact it is not very christian to judge others. Pierce Brosnan is an excellent actor and deserves all the happiness he has worked to achieve. My dear mom use to teach us "If you can't say anything nice, shut your yap!" Please have a nice day Mrs. Sadler.

Mrs Sadler should realize he is an actor and to act roles does not always express a persons deep beliefs. Judging others is also not such a christen thing to do. In this day and age no one should be criticize
for sharing their beliefs spiritually. My mother use to say "If you can't say anything nice then shut your yap!" Have a nice day.

Mel Gibson was sitting on the veranda with his wife one day. He says “I love you...” She says “Is that you or the beer talking?”... He says “It’s me... talking to the beer”. Mel isn’t a perfect Catholic... I dare say few people, including meself, are... but Mel holds on to his Catholic faith and is not ashamed to shout it out. Neither am I. >> Agreed, PB was a great JB - was sorry to see him dropped.

Sorry to disagree with you Jacers, but Mel Gibson is not exactly an example to anyone, even as a human being let alone a catholic.
well done to Pierce Brosnan though. The worst thing the Broccolis ever did was to drop him as James Bond .

When one is given the gift of faith, one doesn't throw it away lightly in fashionable waves. Great to see Pierce Brosnan letting the world know he retains his Catholic faith. So too do other Hollywood stars like Mel Gibson and Jim Caviezel.

Nice article, nice thoughts by Mr. Brosnan. It's such a shame that he's been able to compartmentalize his Faith in the way that he has. According to IMDB, he's for homosexual "marriage" and doesn't mind film nudity or sex scenes. Let us also not forget that he played James Bond in several (4 or 5?) films. A character known for promiscuity and violence. Not sure how he reconciles those choices and beliefs with the Catholic Faith he espouses. Maybe he'll realize how much he's compromised the Faith to be a successul actor in Hollywood..before it's too late. I hope so.

It is refreshing to hear of someone that makes his living in Hollywood not bashing
religion for a change. Good on you Pierce.

A rare feel-good story coming from the IC newswire about the Catholic Faith rather than the usual negative story-lines that it usually churns out. Pierce Brosnan acknowledges the debt which he owes to his Christian brother teachers for the gift of the Catholic faith which they have passed on.
