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."

The “oculus” at the Pantheon
It looks like the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, but there are no paintings…

That’s in Rome, ain’t it? It’s a former pagan temple that was turned into a Church, right? (Can’t recall whether it’s a cathedral or not….)
Y’know, if they put a giant magnifying lens on that thing…. That’d be a cool solar furnace, wouldn’t it?

Okay, not really. Shameless plug.
This one I know!….in part because I got separated from the rest of the group 🙁 If it weren’t for Fr. Joe Lehman, I would have really been in trouble. He was my guardian angel that day!
It’s the Pantheon!
Yup, yup. It’s the former Pantheon…
