In 2014 the esteemed editor of Culture Wars, Dr. E. Michael Jones, published a book written by me about notable American converts, entitled The Mississippi Flows Into the Tiber. The book was pretty lengthy when compared with the average text these days. It contained a foreword, a preface, the text itself, and even concluded with an afterword. In all this it amounted to 1,040 pages, plus several blank sheets on which the reader was invited to make notes. Yet, of course, as Dr. Jones was not slow to point out to me, my book was, in comparison with most of his own rather like a short story in relation to something like War and Peace. I was not offended. After all, the issue of conversion to the Catholic Faith is something of considerable importance, not that I’m denying the value of Dr. Jones’ immense analysis of the big picture in relation to the modern Kulturkampf and its implications. His is a work well done and the essential point to be made is that in my humble opinion the Jones thesis, if I may refer to it in those terms, sets out that big picture in a more accurate and detailed way than any other yet in print.
