Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

Bishop Freeforall, announced today that the stained glass windows were removed from his cathedral as per “GIRM rules” and placed in the local subway station to “signify the sacredness of our Journey to the Center of our Heavenly Mother/Father”. Sister Apostasia presided at the ceremony accompanied by twelve girls(one representing each apostle)dressed as vestal virgins and perfoming a sacred liturgical Dance of the Seven Veils. Music was provied by Abba with Sister Starshine channeling Karen Carpenter for a very rare, but spiritually uplifting “astrally assisted” guest appearance.
