hehadastrongdesiretobe aCatholic."Iwasextremely surprisedanddisconcerted," recalledBaring. Balfour,however,took BaringwithhimonemorningtoLowMassatNotre DamedesVictories."Ihad imaginedCatholicservices werealwayslong,complicated,andoverlaidwith ritual.ALowMass,I found,wasshort,extremely simple,andsomehowor othermademethinkofthe catacombsandthemeetings oftheearlyChristians.One feltonewaslookingonat somethingextremelyancient.Thebehaviourofthe congregation,andtheexpressionontheirfaces,impressedmetoo.Tothemit wasevidentlyreal."
