Converts to Rome

    To be a Christian is to be a convert. The word “convert” applies equally to cradle-born Catholics and to those who become Catholics as adults. The Catholic Church is the divinely established framework of the program of a conversion, which Christ presented as a thorough change of mind and heart (metanoia). While for a cradle-born Catholic the implementation of that program is usually a gradual process, for converts it contains a momentous act as they vote, so to speak, with their feet, on behalf of Truth, by joining the Church as the One True Fold, the Sole Ark of Salvation, to recall hallowed phrases dear to John Henry Newman, easily the greatest convert during the nineteenth century. The three quotations on the inside back cover come from three eminent English converts. What they state contains more theological truth than scores of volumes of the “new” ecclesiology which contains no calls for conversions. The list of notable converts as given in this book is far from complete. The Introduction explains the norms of selection and contains an appeal for further information about such who should have been included here.

Converts From Britain and Ireland in the 19th Century

    The nineteenth century was a great period in the history of Britain and Ireland for conversions to the Catholic Church. Most of these converts came from Anglicanism, but they represented a wide range of interests and expertise. There were poets (for example, Hopkins, Dowson and Patmore), artists (Beardsley), men of law (Arnold and Hope-Scott), architects (Pugin and Scott), clergymen (Faber, Manning, Martindale and Newman) and representatives from many other trades and vocations. Some were eminent even before their “move to Rome,” others almost completely unknown. Some found fame on their conversion, others suffered greatly for their zeal for the one true fold of Christ. Some came into the Church relatively early in life, whilst others entered at the final hour, even whilst on their death bed. The aim of this book is to summarize their lives and explain (by reference to quotations from their writings) why they entered the Catholic Church. This volume is a companion to the author’s earlier book, Converts to Rome: A Guide to Notable converts from Britain and Ireland during the Twentieth Century, also published by Real View Books.

Jewish Converts

    One of the best kept secrets is that converts from Judaism have not become a trickle. A small proof of this is this booklet. It presents a list of Jewish converts who have become notable for their articulate accounts of the reasons that prompted them to enter the Catholic Church as the gathering of those who are Abraham's descendants by faith. All those converts voted with their feet, an expression that harks back to President Kennedy's characterization of the move of those who risked a great deal by crossing the Berlin Wall. While apostolate to promote the conversion of Jews has become suspect in some Catholic circles and is outright odious in some Jewish eyes, the duty to espouse God's full truth, given only in His Son, Jesus, remains paramount.

Through Moral Crises to Catholicism

    This booklet contains the text of the reply which Sigrid Undset (1882-1949), a Nobel Laurate novelist, sent, shortly after she received the Prize in 1927, to a Catholic priest in Oslo. By then Sigrid Undset had been a Catholic for three years and an active member of the little Catholic community in Norway, or rather, in Oslo. The priest wanted to know why Sigrid Undset referred time and again to marriage as a sacrament, although it was a mere contract for Protestants and even more so to wholly secularized Norwegians. Her reply is a masterpiece in theology and moral philosophy, but written with an immediacy characteristic of a great novelist, who could have easily become one of the outstanding Catholic apologists of the twentieth century. First published in the Norwegian Catholic periodical Credo, the “Reply to a parish priest” first appeared in English translation in 1934 in Stages on the Road, a collection of her essays on the Catholic past, and remained buried in that collection, although it would have deserved to be put in wide circulation in a pamphlet form. In the Introduction Fr. Stanley L. Jaki gives also an account of Sigrid Undset’s life as being the essential background of her great literary and apologetic activity and shows why the “Reply to a parish priest” should have been given the title, “Through moral crises to Catholicism.”
