Book excerpt: Excerpt from Distinguished Converts to Rome in America How lightly is that little word spoken, as though signifying merely the passage from one Church to another! But how much it stands for! For what agonizing wrestlings and torture of mind, unseen and unknown! What rendings and bendings of the conscience! What struggles and calls resisted and finally obeyed! What tearing of the heart-strings! How awful the almost cruel disregard of family ties and interests - the light and truth having to be often purchased at the sacrifice of all that is dearest in the world! How many a noble soul has had to go through the agony of witnessing the tears and miseries of wife and children, whom he was leading away to privation and starvation! What could be finer than that martyrdom - that sealing of conviction by such sacrifice? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
