First Muslim Miss USA Winner Converts To Catholicism by Emyben(m): 7:58am On May 10, 2016 |
When Rima Fakih was crowned Miss USA in 2010, she was
believed to have been the first Muslim winner. But since
then, she has come to Christ: in the last few weeks she
converted to Catholicism in preparation for her upcoming
marriage to her Catholic fiance.
Fakih is set to marry Wassim Salibi, who is a Maronite
Catholic, later this month in Lebanon where she grew up.
The Maronite Catholic Church is one of 23 Eastern Catholic
Churches that, while maintaining their Eastern traditions, are
in full communion with the Pope.
Fakih has said in interviews that her family was nominally
Muslim growing up and that she attended Catholic schools.
However, she says she started to take her Muslim faith
more seriously in college.
She’s also not the first in her family to convert. “My brother-
in-law is Christian,” she told the Huffington Post in 2010,
“and he (and my sister) baptised their two sons. I have an
uncle who converted to Christianity, and he’s a priest now.” https://churchpop.com/2016/05/09/first-muslim-miss-usa-winner-becomes-catholic/ |
