Biography

Gary Michael Voris is an American Catholic author, speaker and apologist. He is the president and founder of Saint Michael’s Media, a Christian right-wing apostolate producing catechetical and news videos and articles on the website ChurchMilitant.com.

Voris attended the University of Notre Dame, and graduated in 1983 with a degree in communications with a focus on history and politics. Between 1983 and 1986 he was a television anchor, producer and reporter for various CBS affiliates in New York, Albany, Duluth and Cheyenne, Wyoming. In 1989 he became a news reporter and producer for a Fox affiliate in Detroit, where he won four Regional Emmy Awards for production between 1992 and 1996.

In 1997 he began operation of an independent television production company called Concept Communications, LLC. This company was registered by co-owners Gary Michael Voris and John Fitzpatrick Mola with the State of Michigan on July 8, 1997.

Voris has confessed that “for most of my years in my thirties, confused about my own sexuality, I lived a life of live-in relationships with homosexual men. From the outside, I lived the lifestyle and contributed to scandal in addition to the sexual sins. On the inside, I was deeply conflicted about all of it. In a large portion of my twenties, I also had frequent sexual liaisons with both adult men and adult women. These are the sins of my past life in this area which are all now publicly admitted and owned by me. That was before my reversion to the Faith. Since my reversion, I abhor all these sins”.

Voris cites the death of his brother from a heart attack in 2003, followed by his mother dying from stomach cancer in 2004, as the events that moved him from being “a lukewarm Catholic, someone who usually just went through the motions at church” to an “aggressive global advocate for conservative Catholics ... on a burning mission to save Catholicism and America by trying to warn the public about what is a decline of morality in society.”

Voris is reported to work “up to 18 hours a day, seven days a week” on creating presentations for St. Michael’s Media. In 2009, Voris received an STB degree from the Angelicum in Rome via Sacred Heart Major Seminary, graduating magna cum laude.
