Candace Owens converts to Catholicism.

Published

The change for Owens comes amid shifting sands in her professional life, including an acrimonious exit from The Daily Wire in March following statements she made and supported that were seen as antisemitic.

Owens has lately made a decided shift toward more open support of Christianity, taking “Christ is King” as a mantra in many of her frequent online postings — often in support of ideas and policies seen as Christian nationalist and anti-Jewish.

She began using the phrase online in November 2023, when she first came under fire from the well-known Jewish-American conservative and Daily Wire cofounder Ben Shapiro, who called Owens’ support for antisemitic tropes and criticism of Israel’s alleged Gaza genocide “disgraceful.”

Owens brushed off the criticism for months as she continued hosting “The Candace Owens Show,” then one of the most popular podcasts in the country — extending a long run of success for the millennial contrarian, dating back to her 2016 criticism of female victims in the “Gamergate” harassment campaign.

Owens grew her platform as a rare Black conservative voice during the 2020 U.S. presidential election, in which she threw her support behind Donald Trump. In 2018, she cofounded BLEXIT, which advocates for Black Americans to leave the Democratic Party.

Long identified as a Reformed Evangelical Protestant, in recent years Owens began speaking more frequently about Catholicism, not least because of her convert husband, the British activist and former Parler CEO George Farmer, whom she married in 2019. Owens hosted a theological debate between Farmer and Fox News commentator Allie Beth Stuckey, an evangelical, on her podcast in May 2023, racking up more than a million views on the first part of the discussion alone.
