Renowned actor Shia LaBeouf just recently converted to Catholicism after his stay at a monastery with Franciscan Capuchin friars, in preparation for playing the role of Padre Pio in a new upcoming movie which focuses on the life of the Catholic saint. The celebrity announced his decision during an interview with Bishop Robert Barron on Thursday.
God works in mysterious ways
During the interview, Mr LaBeouf spoke about his battle with depression and suicidal thoughts. He recalled feeling shameful after being part of many public scandals. “The kind of shame that you forget how to breathe,” he stressed.
The actor said that he accepted the role in the movie for selfish reasons, to save his career. “I know now that God was using my ego to draw me to Him. Drawing me away from worldly desires. It was all happening simultaneously,” the celebrity emphasised.Shia LaBeouf converts to Catholicism after studying for 'Padre Pio' movie https://t.co/8xC3CnLDxg pic.twitter.com/kae8HVvJF4

He went on to say that during his time at the monastery he learned about the Catholic teaching and understanding of sin and forgiveness. Also, how meeting other people who had struggled morally helped him forgive himself. “I started hearing experiences of other depraved people who had found their way in this, and it made me feel like I had permission,” he stated.
Shia LeBeouf also emphasised how the traditional form of the Catholic mass had a great impact on his conversion.
