Father Jonathan is at the heart of the cultural wars as a national television commentator, columnist and author. Like nobody else in the media today, he shines the light of truth on social issues in a straightforward and kind way.
Fr. Jonathan Morris Bio
After completing undergraduate studies in Business Administration,
Father Jonathan joined the seminary and attained separate degrees in
classical humanities, philosophy, and theology. After his ordination in
2002, he has served a number of roles, including that of theological
advisor to Mel Gibson in the making of the feature film The Passion
of the Christ. He advised the grass-roots promotion of the film in
the United States and directed its pre-release marketing in Europe and
Asia.
In April of 2005, with the sickness and death of Pope John Paul II,
Father Jonathan began his work as a religious news analyst and
commentator for several domestic and international channels including
CNN, Sky News, and BBC. In November of that year, he provided coverage
of the riots in Paris, France. He went on the scene of the rioting
neighborhoods and spoke to the youth about the social and religious
undertones of the conflict. At the same time he initiated an exclusive
interview with the Imam of the Grande Mosque of Paris. He now serves as
a regular news contributor for the Fox News Channel, where he offers
ethical and moral commentary to regular news items. In less than a year
he has appeared more than 100 times on various Fox New Channel shows and
covered a broad range of topics, giving commentary both from his home
base in Rome as well as the studios in New York and Washington, D.C.
In January of 2006, he traveled to Venezuela to cover a populist
religious gathering that highlighted the tension between the hierarchy
of the Catholic Church and President Hugo Chavez and in February, Father
Jonathan did an exclusive sit-down interview with First Lady Laura Bush.
In June of 2006 Fox renewed a long-term contract with Father Jonathan to
continue providing ethical commentary on the big news stories of the
day.
