Actually all but one of the converts to Holy Orthodoxy whom I know personally (and that includes about 100 people all told, one of whom I catechized) converted from Anglicanism or protestantism (including ex- Baptists, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians and Mennonites).

The one exception is a man who converted from Byzantine Rite Roman Catholicism for the same reason St. Alexis Toth led most of the American uniates of his generation back to the Church: the Latins in North America will not honor the terms of the "Union" of Brest, and attempt to Latinize their Eastern Rite coreligionists.

Have there been a new wave of conversions from the Latin church since the clerical scandals broke? I've not heard anything about it. (Though my priest waggishly suggested to me on an occasion when I spoke about Holy Orthodoxy at one of the Latin parishes in our town that I tell the "Your children are safe with us." I did not take the suggestion.)

We are seeing a handful every few months from the Rc in our parish, already large and growing with lots of babies too.
