A rather cynical (I think) opinion piece in the London Times about faith and reason-
Kaká (pictured) belongs to Jesus even if he will not, after all, belong to Manchester City. This may upset priests here more than City fans, however, given that his evangelism is even more potent than his goalscoring.
The appearance of the AC Milan forward in a Christian advertising campaign in his native Brazil reportedly led to thousands turning to Christ, hundreds more being freed from demonic possession and dozens of drug addicts being cured. It is even said that a former voodoo princess has seen the light, although there are, as yet, no reports of water being turned into wine in downtown Rio.
Kaká became a Christian at 12, but it was not until he was 18 that he fully committed to the Lord after slipping on a swimming pool slide and hitting his head on the bottom of the pool. The injury to his neck could have spelt the end of his career but it healed within two months. “That was when I knew that God was looking after me and that He was on my side,” Kaká said.
