Jimmy Page RECOVERING CATHOLIC T-Shirt
Jul
The term “recovering Catholic” is used by some former practicing Catholics to describe their religious status. The use of the term implies that the person considers their former Catholicism to have been a negative influence on their life, one to be “recovered” from.
Jimmy Page was raised a Catholic but was he ever a “practising” Catholic? I don’t think so!
Jimmy Page’s fascination with occult religions was evident as he owned an occult bookstore, Aleister Crowley’s Boleskine House, in the ’70s. During that era, Led Zeppelin’s use of occult imagery and lyrics was a significant aspect that contributed to their classification as one of the pioneering Heavy Metal bands alongside Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.
Some say that listening to Stairway to Heaven backwards is quite interesting…
Jimmy Page most likely wore this shirt as a mockery of the Catholic religion.
