Frank Skinner talks about his Catholic faith.

Frank's poetry podcast is wonderful. He is a wonderful teacher and in his gentle, humorous, low key way he pours gold into your soul. He opened up a closed world to me and made it live. It actually takes some time to realise how absolutely brilliant he is. It's no surprise that he has faith. He is a man touched by God and listen to Frank for a while and you feel it.

LOVE this! Frank continues to inspire me. I love him as a comedian, presenter and above all a man of faith. His book ‘a comedian’s prayer book’ is a must read for believers and non believers alike. 🙏

It speaks volumes that Frank is highly qualified in the English language!

Language inevitably becomes spiritual, transcendent, sacred and metaphysical because our (faith) in the ability to convey meaning and purpose using language transcends “matter”!! Reality and existence and in particular the qualities of experience such as language, that is meaning, purpose, the prescriptive laws of logic, love goodness and morality are not made of “matter” they are made of what matters!!

“We actually have a domain of deep language. When we fall into the domain of the deep language we are in the domain of the sacred”

We have this innate sense of literary depth. Some stories are shallow and meaningless, some stories are incredibly deep, poignant and meaningful, and everyone feels that and knows it with every ounce of their being!!

And everyone pretty much appreciates and accepts that. You experience it with music and comedy. You experience it when observing the beauty in nature and more so when you observe inner beauty in others!! Any art form or experience there’s shallow aspects and there’s deep aspects!! And deep aspects move you and they move you so deeply they have emotional resonance!! And they call to you and challenge you as well! They call you to a better version of your self!!

Frank is a true Catholic very real very human

He doesn’t believe in all the Catholic teachings, so he isn’t a Catholic but a ‘cultural Catholic’ or someone who aspires to become a disciple of Christ, but has quite surrendered his life to Him as yet.
