Madam, - Bishop John Flack, the head of the Anglican Centre in Rome, succinctly summed up the situation of converts when he told Catholic News Service: "Anglicans who become Roman Catholic generally become very conservative Roman Catholics, while Roman Catholics who become Anglican tend to become very liberal Anglicans."
The evidence in Ireland would seem to suggest he was correct. - Yours, etc,
