My Congressman is a recent convert: James Sensenbrenner, (R) WI.
And now the job is to convert all rest of the Catholics in the Catholic Church to Catholicism, lol!
Well-known to who? I haven’t heard of any of these people.

You’ve been a FReeper how many years and haven’t heard of the following?
Laura Ingraham, Newt Gingrich, Bobby Jindal, Jeb Bush, Robert Bork, Tony Blair
I just realized you are probably referring to the names shown above. I haven’t heard of any these people, either. The names I listed are at the link.
None of whom were mentioned in the excerpt. But have you heard about the conversions of Francis Schaeffer, Rodney Beason, Rob Evans, Mitt Romney, Vladimir Putin, Mikhail Gorbachev, George Bush, and Barack Obama?

Actually, that is one of the main goals of the new evangelization. ;-)
I think Newt Gingrich is a convert too isn’t he?
:-O
A lot more on that page. Thank you.
There have been articles authored by some of these people posted on FR.
G. K. Cheterton, Peter Kreeft, Steve Ray
Did you click on the link? Not even Laura Ingragam?
Tim Staples will be a speaker at the Catholic Men for Christ in St. Louis tomorrow. I am looking forward to it.
Tim Staples is Director of Apologetics and Evangelization at Catholic Answers, but he was not always Catholic. Tim was raised a Southern Baptist. Although he fell away from the faith of his childhood, Tim came back to faith in Christ during his late teen years through the witness of Christian televangelists. Soon after, Tim joined the Marine Corps.
During his four-year tour, he became involved in ministry with various Assemblies of God communities. Immediately after his tour of duty, Tim enrolled in Jimmy Swaggart Bible College and became a youth minister in an Assembly of God community. During his final year in the Marines, however, Tim met a Marine who really knew his faith and challenged Tim to study Catholicism from Catholic and historical sources. That encounter sparked a two-year search for the truth. Tim was determined to prove Catholicism wrong, but he ended up studying his way to the last place he thought he would ever end up: the Catholic Church!
He converted to Catholicism in 1988 and spent the following six years in formation for the priesthood, earning a degree in philosophy from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Overbrook, Pennsylvania. He then studied theology on a graduate level at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland for two years. Realizing that his calling was not to the priesthood, Tim left the seminary in 1994 and has been working in Catholic apologetics and evangelization ever since.
If those are your own words, fine.
If they came from a website you need to link to the source.

If Tim staples is the best the rcc has in apologetics y’all are in sad shape. I’ve seen his posts. They are riddled with error.
