The Irish Catholic to host talk on ‘Having Better Fights about Religion’
Leah Libresco, a popular US Catholic blogger, Yale graduate, and self described ‘geeky convert’, will be giving a free talk next month hosted by The Irish Catholic.
Originally an atheist, Libresco (pictured) started blogging for the online religion website Patheos as a way to debate and discuss religion. As a result of debating with Christians and atheists alike, Libresco converted to Catholicism in 2012.
