More Political Converts to Catholicism (Besides Newt)

By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country

More politically active Catholic converts—besides Newt—as per your comments:

  • Randall Terry
  • Rep. Walter Jones
  • Dick Morris (according to press reports)
  • Alfred Regnery (the conservative publisher, converted by the same priest who converted Sam Brownback, Bob Novak, and Larry Kudlow)

Correction: Paul Weyrich was Catholic but wasn't a convert, as I asserted in my previous post. He was raised in the Roman Catholic Church and as an adult joined the Melkite Greek Catholic Church, which is in full communion with Rome.
