Mark is a convert from Judaism and atheistic materialism. As a youth he has a completely “horizontal” view of the world. God never came into the picture. Always seeking for the truth, along with his wife and some friends, he started a commune in northern California. Seeking the teaching of enlightened thinkers, like Buddha and Jesus, they decided that Jesus was different than all the rest because he suffered. Knowing abortion was wrong he was drawn to the Catholic Church because of its stance for life. His heart was finally opened to the Church after watching the movie “A Man for All Seasons,” which is about St. Thomas More.
