Thirty-six Jesuit ordinations. Yowza. A different era. The country has changed in other ways too. Dulles' conversion from mainline Protestant to Catholic wouldn't cause much of stir now. How big a deal would even W converting be for the majority of the country?

Maybe it's different because England has an established church, but didn't Tony Blair convert shortly after leaving office?
He did, but I don't know if it caused the stir that Dulles' conversion did. Of course, there were many hints that Blair was leaning that way. I guess I guess what I mean is that far more people took religious differences seriously back then. To go from being a mainline Protestant to a Catholic was a Big Deal.
