He is back to singing, so who knows - maybe he will be back to the embrace of Greek Orthodox church as the next step. And, with deity's help (or deity forbid, whatever), we may see him as Joseph/Yossi Judaism yet ;-) It seems that Cat/Yusuf is going through a new turn of his life’s spiral.

It made a strong impact on me as I used to like his music. I'm sure the news clip would be impossible to find, but it would fly in the face of his denial that was in the article.
