Requiescat In Pace: Norm Macdonald

An appreciation of Norm Macdonald, Christian, conservative, and funny.

From The American Catholic

By Donald R. McClarey


Norm Macdonald has died, far too young, at age 61 after a nine year fight against leukemia. Perhaps the most brilliant comedian of his generation, he was actually funny, instead of relying on insults, profanity and Leftist talking points. A man of faith as well as humor, he had little time for the popular pieties of the entertainment industry and relished in skewering them.



A comedian has two duties:  to be funny and to be fearless, at least if his jokes touch upon current events.  Macdonald satisfied both categories.  I hope God, who has an infinite sense of humor, is a fan.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
