*Candace Owens recently announced her conversion to Catholicism, describing it as a “decision to go home.”

“There is of course so much more that went into this decision and that I plan to share in the future. But for now, praise be to God for His gentle, but relentless guiding of my heart toward Truth,” Owens tweeted on April 22. 

One supporter wrote in the post’s comments, “Welcome home @RealCandaceO. We are delighted to have you as part of Spiritual Family. Deo gratias!”

Another X user added, “Welcome Home @RealCandaceO! The road ahead is tough, both without and within the Church. May we all persevere to the end in the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church!”

A third person said, “Welcome home, @RealCandaceO! Such joyful and glorious news! I wrote on April 9: “Candace Owens is right: Christ is King. Let us pray that she will soon join her Catholic husband in the one true Church…”

Last month, Owens parted ways with conservative media outlet The Daily Wire after she was accused of being anti-Semitic for using the phrase “Christ is King” online. 

As Mediaite reports, company accused Owens of “quoting Scripture like Satan does in the Bible.”

“The rumors are true— I am finally free,” Owens wrote on X on March 22. “There will be many announcements in the weeks to come,” she added.

Jeremy Boreing, CEO of The Daily Wire, explained in a lengthy post on X/Twitter:  “How is saying ‘Christ is King’ antisemitic? The same way anything becomes antisemitic – when it is used for the purpose of expressing antisemitism. It’s like asking ‘how does a shovel become a murder weapon?’ When it is used to murder someone. This isn’t hard. A shovel is not innately a murder weapon. Saying ‘Christ is King’ is not innately antisemitic. It’s all about how a thing is used.”

He continued: “Saying ‘Eat some cornbread’ is not racist if I say it to my three-year-old when she is refusing her dinner. If I start saying it as a response to X posts by black commentators I don’t like, it has taken on a meaning beyond what is innate. In other words, it is connotatively racist, not denotatively racist. So too ‘Christ is King’ may be antisemitic in connotation while not in denotation when it is being used to express antisemitism,” he explained. 

“When did this become so?” Boreing added. “It has always been so. Is it so? Yes. Innately. Additionally, saying ‘Christ is King’ for an evil purpose – like using it as a weapon to express your hatred or disdain for the Jews – is a grave sin. It plainly violates the Third Commandment “Thou shall not carry forth the Name of the Lord thy God in vain.”
