Former Christianity Today editor Mark Galli converts to Catholicism

On September 13, Mark Galli—a former Presbyterian pastor and former editor in chief of the evangelical magazine Christianity Today—was confirmed as a Roman Catholic.

Last December, Galli penned a Christianity Today editorial calling for Donald Trump’s impeachment and removal from of­fice and arguing that he is “profoundly immoral.” The editorial went viral, earning a rebuke from Trump on Twitter and bringing Galli, who retired from the magazine in January, a tsunami of publicity.

Some of his fellow evangelicals praised the editorial as courageous, given their movement’s overwhelming support for the president. Trump’s evangelical supporters labeled it misguided and out of touch.
