God delights in restoring what seems beyond repair.

That does not mean every public profession of faith should be accepted uncritically.

True conversion is revealed over time through perseverance, repentance, humility, obedience to Christ, and a life transformed by grace.

The Church has always taught that holiness is not measured by words alone but by a life increasingly conformed to Jesus Christ.

THE LESSON FOR EVERY ONE OF US

Conor McGregor's story is not ultimately about Conor McGregor.

It is about the mercy of God.

Every one of us has a past that needs forgiveness.

Every one of us has habits that require conversion.

Every one of us is called, day after day, to become more like Christ.

It is easy to analyze another person's soul.

It is much harder to allow God to transform our own.

Jesus never told us to become experts in judging conversions.

He commanded us to repent, believe the Gospel, and pray.

So rather than asking whether God can change someone else's heart, perhaps we should ask whether we are allowing Him to change ours.

Let us pray for Conor McGregor.

Let us pray for every public figure searching for Christ.

And above all, let us pray for ourselves, that we may never lose confidence in the infinite mercy of God.

For if Christ could transform Peter after his denial, Paul after his persecution, Augustine after his rebellion, and countless saints after lives of sin, then He can transform any heart that is willing to return to Him.

“There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”
Luke 15:7

May we never grow weary of praying for the conversion of others.

And may we never stop asking God for our own.

Our Lady, Refuge of Sinners, pray for us.

CONOR McGREGOR'S RETURN TO GOD REMINDS US OF SOMETHING MANY CATHOLICS FORGET

Whenever a famous athlete, actor, or musician begins speaking openly about God, the reactions are usually predictable.

Some people celebrate.

Some dismiss it as publicity.

Others immediately point to the person's past and conclude that the conversion cannot be genuine.

The Gospel invites us to respond differently.

Not with naïveté.

Not with cynicism.

But with hope.

That is why Conor McGregor's recent public profession of faith is worth reflecting on.

Not because he is famous.

But because his story reminds us of a truth that lies at the very heart of Christianity:

No one is beyond the reach of God's mercy.

A FAITH THAT DID NOT BEGIN YESTERDAY

Conor McGregor has publicly identified as a Catholic for many years.

Raised in Ireland, he often speaks about the faith he received from his family and has described himself as “Catholic and Irish Catholic.”

He has long worn a medal of St. Michael the Archangel, entrusting himself to the protection of the prince of the heavenly hosts.

His faith has also been visible in the life of his family.

He chose to have one of his sons baptized at St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.

His son later received First Holy Communion.

In December 2025, he married Dee Devlin in the Chapel of Santo Stefano degli Abissini, the oldest church within Vatican City.

These are not merely beautiful traditions.

For Catholics, Baptism, the Holy Eucharist, and Holy Matrimony are encounters with Jesus Christ through the Sacraments He entrusted to His Church.

A MORE OPEN PROFESSION OF FAITH

During the past year, McGregor has begun speaking about God with a new openness.

At a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship press conference in Italy, he shared these words:

- “I've engaged on a spiritual journey and I've been saved. I'm saved. I am healed... There is a higher power, God, that dictates my journey and all of our journeys. And I live my life by God's Word.”

Since then, he has repeatedly quoted Sacred Scripture, encouraged people to pray, spoken about God's healing, and publicly praised the Lord.

His social media biography now includes a simple reminder that every Catholic would do well to remember:

“Pray EVERYDAY.”

HIS PERSONAL TESTIMONY

In November 2025, McGregor described what he believes was a profound spiritual encounter while receiving treatment for trauma and other personal struggles.

According to his own testimony, he experienced a vision of the Holy Trinity, encountered Jesus Christ, saw the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Archangels, and believed that God healed him spiritually.

He later wrote:

- “To God, I am yours. I live my life per your Word and nothing more.”

As Catholics, we make an important distinction here.

Private spiritual experiences are not part of the public Revelation given through Christ and the Apostles. They cannot be independently verified, and no Catholic is required to believe them.

The Church teaches us to judge such experiences by their fruits.

Do they lead a person to greater humility?

Greater love for God?

Greater fidelity to the Church?

Greater desire for prayer and the Sacraments?

Those are the questions that matter.

WHAT SHOULD CATHOLICS THINK?

Perhaps the more important question is not whether Conor McGregor's conversion is genuine.

Only God can see the human heart.

The more important question is this:

If God is still calling him, is He not also calling me?

The saints remind us that God's greatest miracles often happen quietly inside the human heart.

St. Augustine spent years chasing worldly ambition before becoming one of the Church's greatest theologians.

St. Mary of Egypt lived a life of grave sin before becoming a radiant witness of repentance.

St. Paul persecuted Christians before becoming the Apostle to the Gentiles.

Their stories all proclaim the same truth.

Today, the Mass was denied to me in Ávila (Spain). I am the chaplain of a pilgrimage group from the United States. This pilgrims usually attend the Traditional Latin Mass, so they wanted to be accompanied by a priest who would celebrate in the Old Rite. We had the chapel booked, but we were told that this rite required authorization from the Bishop.

I went to the Episcopal Curia to request the authorization, so the Mass could take place. However, the Bishop, not to me personally, but through the Vicar General, categorically stated: “That Mass is prohibited in this diocese.” Prohibited why? And by what authority? Has this rite been abrogated?

I was going to celebrate it in a chapel with the group of pilgrims. What harm could possibly come to the world? The rite is exactly the same one used in the convents of the Discalced Carmelites, stemming from the reform of Saint Teresa of Ávila and Saint John of the Cross. The rite was good for those great saints, but now it is bad for us?

The Code of Canon Law - Canon 932 §1 - prohibits Masses outside of sacred places, except in cases of necessity: “The Eucharistic celebration must be carried out in a sacred place unless, in a particular case, necessity requires otherwise; in that case, it must be celebrated in a decent place.”

In this case, there was no necessity to celebrate the Mass in a hotel room, since we were surrounded by chapels and churches with beautiful altars (that are almost never used). The necessity was created by the Bishop himself, who, instead of promoting sacred things, decided to prohibit them.

Who benefited from the Mass being celebrated in a profane place? Was Our Lord more praised in a hotel room than He would have been in a church? Were the souls of the faithful more edified by seeing a table serving as an altar?

It is normal for people to be scandalized by these tyrannical and anti-pastoral decisions, especially from those who claim that everyone is welcome in the Church. But not everyone is. That is quite clear.

I have gone through several similar episodes before and remained silent. But this must be denounced, this cannot be the normal state of the Church. Pope Leo must act quickly to put an end to these abuses of authority.
