as if something in the unbelievers themselves was trying desperately not to believe... - Seems that the unbelievers seem to be the greatest reason for people returning or converting to Catholicism - some sort of interest sparked by those who hate for no apparent reason - which makes people want to see what all the fuss is about.

I'd guess that Joe's not been hit on by a priest. I was, and I know how that can work on people.

Thank you for the wonderful post. Joe Sobran is a national treasure.

The Catholic church influences the most unlikely people. TS Eliot's mother was a Unitarian progressive, his grandfather a Unitarian minister. But Eliot himself espoused
Anglo-Catholicism.

Dear Diago, you are such a blessing to us, and I pray every Paschal blessing for you at this most holy and joyous time.
Sobran: But the unbelievers helped convert me again.
How often I have heard this in the last twenty years. Although now I hear converts telling me that they came to the Church not because of the atheistic unbelievers, but because Islam has been exposed to them as a religion of hate, misery, and broken promises and the New Age has no answers for anyone, especially after 9/11. And within the last twelve years, I hear people telling me that they were converted because they felt Jesus calling to them from the Church, from the Tabernacle. So many awesome stories from throughout north Africa.
Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia. Indeed He is risen! Alleluia.

Happy Easter.

I don't always agree with Sobran on everything, but he's right on the money on this subject. The only answer to today's problems is Jesus Christ. Happy Easter!
To: Diago
I find Sobran very easy to read. He says it in english instead of intellectualese.

Very good article. I think this is why a lot of people come back to the Church.
God bless!

A Belated Happy and Joyous easter to you!
I can relate to what Mr. Sobran says. I, too, have been twice converted. I thank God every day for my second chance.
To: Diago
Always good to read Sobran on the Church, especially with the current scandals. Thank you for posting.
