The Convert; or, Leaves from My Experience
by Orestes Brownson
Orestes Brownson's own account of a restless intellectual pilgrimage — through Presbyterian gloom, Universalism, Owenite socialism, and outright freethought — into the Catholic Church. One of nineteenth-century America's most combative men of letters retraces the reasoning, not merely the feeling, behind his conversion.
The changed life
A New England radical, labor agitator, and freethought editor who passed through nearly every 'ism' of his age before being received into the Catholic Church in 1844 — and spent the rest of his life defending the faith he had once attacked.
