he'd be a fantastic rationalist if he wasn't Catholic. I'm working on that.

It should probably be the other way around: once he gets better epistemic tools, which doesn't require not being a Catholic, he'll probably cease being a Catholic. Confronting religion directly seems significantly counterproductive if training in rationality is a feasible plan.
