Well, here I was mentioning Joseph Pearce, while forgetting that Pearce himself is a convert. He used to belong to an extreme British nationalist group and was no stranger to violence…spent some time in prison.

Karl Stern mentioned at Maries list is a very interestening person. He was a highly educated Jew that converted to catholisism in the middle of the WW II.
STOP and THINK: Hitler, a catholic, murderd other jews, when this especially jew found out that catholisism was the New Covenant!
It must been of great cost to him to follow Jesus’ words: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” (John 14:6)
I highly recommend his book “The Pillar ogf Fire” (were he tells about his convertion):

Not to forget, I’m a convert, too (But I am not famous) LOL!
Best wishes to all who seek the Christian Thruth from a former Lutheran, (now catholic)!
Must the famous converts be of inspiration to us “ordinary”.
God Bless!

Before I converted, I was going to a Protestant Bible College. I was actually told be one of my professors that he thought that Rich Mullins died in that car crash because Mullins was about to convert to Catholicism and God didn’t want him to. Can you believe someone actually said that?

As far as famous death bead converts I do believe George Washington is one.
And even better yet my wife: Debora Kay McKenzie she is going to help get me into heaven. Even if she has to sneak me in the back door.

Rich Mullins had a HUGE Soft spot for the Catholic church, esp for Mary and the saints…his favorite places were Basicallias, tho he admited to loving the most run down (catholic) churches.
He chose Mass over any other celebration.
His song “Creed” wich is the apostles creed proves it more than anything.

Ah, it is far better to believe in a God than not at all.

Correct. I’ve never heard of such kind of deathbed “conversion” as well.For the record, I’ve never heard of a deathbed conversion to atheism.

Lately,the name of Nicolas Steno has emerged as a convert.

Considering all the hoopla over science/religion or its antecedent -creationism/evolutionism,it is a reminder to Catholics that we inherited the once noble tradition of the investigation of natural phenomena.
A person reading the life of Steno can get very lonely in matters of scientific concern in our present era.
