"Shia LaBeouf's Newfound Faith Sparks Surprising Career Shift to Deacon"

Shia LaBeouf, known for his roles in "Transformers" and "Even Stevens," has converted to Catholicism after playing the lead role in the film "Padre Pio," which tells the story of the 20th-century saint. His experience on set and studying the religion led to a spiritual awakening and his confirmation into the Catholic Church on New Year's Eve. LaBeouf, who is considering a major career change, has expressed interest in becoming a deacon, a role within the church that allows him to remain married. His spiritual journey has been supported by the Capuchin Friars and Bishop Robert Barron.
