Deathbed Conversion Narrative Lacks Catholic Substance
Catholic News Agency reports on the death of Scott Adams, creator of the “Dilbert” comic strip, who publicly professed belief in Christ shortly before dying from cancer at age 68. The article notes Adams had “previously announced his intention to convert to Christianity” in January 2025 before his January 13, 2026 death, with his social media account posting a “final message” stating: “I accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior, and I look forward to spending an eternity with him.” The report emphasizes Adams’ legacy as a cartoonist and his political controversies while framing his conversion as a positive spiritual conclusion.
