“Like all converts I have often heard, at second or third relay, that I shall regret my rash move. ‘Poor man’, one observer was quoted as saying, ‘I think that he is sincere’. I suppose that he has as yet no inkling of the way in which Catholics threat their converts once they have them in the fold’. This remark is not wholly devoid of truth. For I can testify that, during these past eight years, many Catholics have been much more kind to me than I deserve. Not that they regard my entrance into the Church as epoch-making—old Catholics are well acquainted with prodigal sons. And for this very reason I cannot help being surprised that , in their indefatigable hospitality, they waste so many good fatted calves.” Herbert Ellsworth Cory, Ph.D -1941
