In 1999, O’Connor became an ordained priest of the Catholic Latin Tridentine Church. That came seven years after she ripped up a photo of Pope John Paul II during a “Saturday Night Live” performance where she urged viewers to “Fight the real enemy.”

According to O’Connor, her conversion is part of a journey.

“This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian's journey,” she tweeted. “All scripture study leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant. I will be given (another) new name. It will be Shuhada.'”

In addition to her quest for spiritual guidance, the 51-year-old singer has struggled with mental illness throughout her life. In August 2017, she posted video from a New Jersey motel where she said her psychiatrist is keeping her alive.

“I’m all by myself,” she said. “Mental illness, it’s like drugs, it doesn’t give a s–t who you are, and equally what’s worse, it’s the stigma, it doesn’t give a s–t who you are.”

She soon after paid a visit to the “Dr. Phil” show where she confessed to having attempted suicide eight times.
