A few weeks back I noted that there seemed to be more prominent people wearing crosses on Ash Wednesday, and this week I see another story that furthers the notion that Christianity is back in fashion.

Gwen Stefani was part of the soundtrack of the 1990s, and I have a DVD of No Doubt's greatest hits.  However I've never been a person who follows celebrities, so it was intrigued to see that she is apparently becoming an outspoken Christian.  I'm too lazy to look deeper into it, but Aleteia being a Catholic site, presumably she has reverted to the Church of her youth.

Either way, there is a growing celebrity movement towards some form of Christianity rather than mere spirituality.  Is this a preference cascade?  Shrewd marketing?  Maybe it doesn't matter insofar as their insincere conversions may yet provoke sincere ones.  God moves in mysterious ways.

It is also clear that the culture is shifting away from license and lust and people are seeking something deeper and more fulfilling.   God be praised and let us hope this continues.
