Some people approve of Catholic converts, others, like Austen Ivereigh, think they are neurotic.
Anyway, it's time for another world cup, once again to be conducted by Twitter (X) polls. There is room
for a few more nominations: the
conditions are that the convert (1) must be dead, and (2) must have converted in adultood (also, must be reasonably well known,
so don't nominate your great-aunt unless she's famous).
Let's keep things post-Reformation to avoid St Matthew, St Paul, or St Augustine of Hippo running away with the whole thing.
Also, my decision is
final.
Alec Guinness as GKC's Father Brown.
So far I have the following nominees:
Alec Guinness
Augustus Pugin
Avery Dulles
Buffalo Bill Cody
Claud McKay
Dorothy Day
Edith Nesbit
Edith Stein
Evelyn Waugh
Frederick William Faber
G.K. Chesterton
Gary Cooper
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Graham Greene
John Henry Newman
John Wayne
Malcolm Muggeridge
Mortimer Adler
Muriel Spark
Oscar Wilde
Robert Hugh Benson
Ronald Knox
Siegfried Sassoon
Thomas Merton
Buffalo Bill Cody
Nominations may be made by replying to this post, or to its advert on Twitter.
