My favorite "lost" Catholic
My favorite "lost" Catholic at the moment is Holly Hunter's fictional character, Grace Hanadarko, in TNT's drama series "Saving Grace." The upcoming (next Monday) season finale addresses death penalty questions - Detective Grace Hanadarko and a death row inmate have an extraordinary link and Grace's brother, a priest, is attempting to help the same death row inmate. Perhaps I like the show partly because it is set in Oklahoma City, some of Grace's problems (but by no means all of them) stem from the loss of a sister in the Oklahoma City bombing, and there is even a Longhorn (like me) creating a little friendly rivalry with the otherwise Sooner born, Sooner bred office.
Warning, the show is not for the puritanical souls among us.
