WhyMaynardWasan'Easy'Convert

VillainousJesuitandChestertonHelped

(Oneofaseriesonnoted convertstoCatholicitybased on"TheRoadtoDamascus," currentbestseller,editedby theRev.Dr.JohnA.O'Brien. Doubleday&Company,Inc., GardenCity,N.Y.$2.50.)

TheodoreMaynard,sonoftwo ProtestantministerswhohimselfstudiedfortheCongregatiorial convincedministry,wasalready ofthetruthofthe CatholicChurchbeforeheever spoketoapriest.

Hereferstohisconversion as"MyEasyRoadtoRome," andsaysthathisacceptanceof thetruthofCatholicism,"sofar asithadanaturalbasis,reposed,itseemstome,oncommonsense.Mymodeofapproach,"headds,"shouldbe possibletoanyone."

But,ontheotherhand,TheodoreMaynard,asayoungman, wouldhaveseemedoneofthe leastlikelyprospectsforconversiontotheChurch.Hisparents,membersofasectknown asthePlymouthBrethren,who professeda"simpleBiblereligion,"weremissionariesin India,anditwasthereTheodore wasborn.

Aswouldbeexpectedwith missionaryparents,however,he wasrearedinaveryreligious atmosphere."Istartedwiththe advantagethattherewasnever atimeIcanrememberwhenit wasnotimpresseduponmethat man'srelationtoGodwasimmeasurablythemostimportant factinman'slife."Hisreligious training,too,hedeclares,"was, sofarasitwent,perfectlyorthodox,exceptforanunduestress onthisorthatdetail. For me,therefore,Catholicism hardlymeantmorethanalast step,thoughalongone,from theProtestantismofmyup- bringing."Infact,hehasnever likedtoconsiderhimselfaconvert."Iwouldprefertosaythat whereasIwasinmyyouthan incompleteCatholicIamnow completeinmyCatholicism."

Inlinewiththis,Maynard sayshewouldprefertogive someaccountofwhyheremains intheChurch.But"atthemomentitisperhapsenoughto saythatIstaywhereIambecausethereisnowhereelseto go."

Thereligioustrainingofhis youthwaslargelyamatterof Biblereading,Biblestudy, Bibleexposition.Then"assoon asIleftIndiaandourcircleof

PlymouthBrethren"camethe discovery"thattherewasreally nosuchthingasthe'simple Biblereligion'Ihadheardso muchabout.ForiftheBible wassoclearabook,andan authoritythatneedednomore thantheilluminationofthe HolyGhost,howwasitthatso manysectshadcomeintobeing, withmanyvarietiesofopinion withineachsectitself?"

'Villianous'JesuitHero

AttractsYoungReader Maynardhadbeenrearedin anatmosphereofanti-Catholic prejudice,which,hesays,"was intheairwebreathed."Priests andnuns,hewasgiventounderstand,wereverybad.Asa youthhereadaseriesofnovels inwhichthechiefvillainwasa suave,cultivatedJesuit.Buthe foundhimselffascinatedbythe charmingcleric,andresolvedto lookfurtherintothereligion thatcouldproduceamanso muchmoreattractivethanmany ofthegrim"saints"heknew personally. Attheageof18hehearda talkbyanex-nun-buthorror athertale"changedintoincredulityatthepatentinconsistencieswithwhichitwasfull." AstepintheRomewarddirecton,unlikelythoughitseems, came"whenIdefinitelydisengagedmyselffromthePlymouthBrethrenismofmyboyhood andfellundertheinfluenceofthegreatestpreacher Ihaveeverheard."Fromthis manhederivedan"immense intellectualexcitement and anambitiontobecomeaministermyself."

Thisquickenedmypassionateinterestinreligionandstartedmeuponwhat,Ithensupposed,wasabroaderpath.This ledmetowhatiscalledamore 'Liberal'theologyandeventually,foraverybrieftime,toan associationwithUnitarianism. Therespectableemptinessand desiccationandfutileintellectualismIfoundtherecompleted mydisillusionment.Iwasby nowreadytobeaCatholic."

Chesterton'sInfluence IsSeeninConversion

Onebookplayedagreatpart inhisconversion."Thiswas Chesterton's'Orthodoxy.'Itstill seemstomeamostextraordinaryworkanditsankdeeply intomymind.Onhislastpage theauthordid,indeed,run awayfromthequestionofauthoritybysayingthathewas quitereadytowriteanother bookonthatsubjectunderchal-

OfhisconversionMaynard says:"Allwasplainsailingin mycase;theworstIhadtoface wasthedisapprovalofmyfamily.SofarasIknow,Ihave lostnothing-nothing,thatis, thatIvalueverymuch.Itis possiblethatcertaindoorshave beenclosedtomesocially;asI neverwantedtoenterthem, thatdoesnottroubleme.Itis alsopossiblethatImighthave hadmorerecognitionasawriter hadInotbeenaCatholic. AnditmaywellbethathadI notbecomeaCatholicIwould nothavefoundanythingin particulartowriteabout.At anyrate,Iknowforacertainty thatthemeswhichatleastbear insomewayuponCatholicism aretheonlyonesthatdeeply engagemyinterest.

"Ifthecastofmymind,"he concludes,"pointedfromthe startinthedirectionofthe Church,mymindsincethen, be':auseofmylifeinthe Church,hasbeensetinaCatholicmouldfromwhichIcannot es.are.But,ofcourse,Idonot wanttoescape-eitherfromthat orfromtheunremittingtoilsof authorship.Imightbetempted tosaythatthesehavebeenimposedtomakeupfortheeffortlessmannerinwhichIarrived atRome,wereitnotthatI enjoymyworksomuch.The mainmisgivingIhaveiswhetherheavenwillbesoeasyto enter."
