The Ones Who Didn’t Convert

— John Duggan

“Melanie McDonagh’s Converts, reviewed in First Things last month, allows us to gaze close-up at the extraordinary procession of eminent literary, artistic, and intellectual figures that made its way over the threshold of the Roman Catholic Church from the 1890s right up until the 1960s. But there was, one might say, another contemporaneous procession. However, this procession circled the Church, hugging its outer walls, but never entered. And at the head, I would place C. S. Lewis and T. S. Eliot.”
