[edit] Vandalism of Danny Thomas page
Someone (most likely the improbable subject child) keeps adding that Thomas had a second son by an illicit affair. Unverifiable, Family denies.) The only source for this "information" is the subject child's website, and a website of his "crazy mother", whom he believes although he states she abandoned him at 14, was abusive and was not of stable mind. This "child" claims Thomas left "death messages" in his autobiography to him and his mother and is responsible for the death of his child. You can see the mothers website at www.claudiaokeefe.com. I feel it is very important to block this person from adding to this page for his own benefit.Zabadu (talk) 17:10, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Religion
Danny Thomas was Orthodox, not Catholic. See: http://www.ex-morninglanders.com/news/news22.htm ——Preost talk contribs 23:47, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
- Are you sure about that? I'm essentially positive he was Maronite Catholic. He donated a statue of Mary to St. Victor's Catholic Church. He's also listed at Famous Maronites. The Antiochian site only lists him as Arab, not specifically Antiochian Orthodox. I find several other sources saying he's Maronite.--T. Anthony 09:56, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

- He was Catholic, not Orthodox. I kind of knew that anyway, but as pretty much every site I find agrees on it I'm going with it. Although he was Maronite, not Roman. We don't have a category for Eastern Rite Catholics so I muddled through.--T. Anthony 11:06, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
- How did he become Catholic? "Amos Jacobs" does not sound particularly Roman Catholic. His family came from Lebanon. Few Roman Catholics lived in Lebanon in the early 20th century. What was the religion of his parents? Edison (talk) 05:11, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
- In his autobiography "Make Room for Danny" Danny says he was baptized at St. Alphonsus Church in Deerfield, MI by his parents. On page 26, he speaks of attending Catholic school at St. Francis de Sales, where the nuns "didn't think Amos was Christian enough for a Catholic boy" and tried to talk his mother into naming him Ambrose. His mother confused the church name on his baptismal certificate and always considered him named Amos Alphonsus Jacobs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.149.14.99 (talk) 16:44, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
- The predominant Christian group in Lebanon is the Meronite Catholic Church. The Meronites are a particular variety of eastern-rite Roman Catholics. The Meronites, like other eastern-rite Catholics have clergy who can be married ('though are not allowed to marry once they are ordained.)
[edit] Freemasonry
If Danny Thomas was a member of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (Shriners) he would have had to have been either a 32nd degree Mason in the Scottish Rite, or Knight Templar in the York Rite. The Shrine did not allow 3rd degree Masons to join 'till after Mr. Thomas' death. IIRC Mr. Thomas was featured in the Scottish Rite's magazine at the time of his death.
- Reaching the 3rd degree of Masonry is a requisite for becoming a member of the Scottish Rite or York Rite. If Danny Thomas was a Shriner, then he must have also been a 3rd degree Mason. The Shrine did not allow 3rd degree Masons who were not also in Scottish Rite or York Rite to join until recently. Just Some Guy (talk) 04:03, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
