I was in Web Bull’s class. I’m surprised his experience at school was so different from mine. We, however, moved in different circles.

BTW, I thought then and I think to this day that the school minister was and is one of the finest men I ever met.

What does this article have to do with conversion to Roman Catholicism or Roman Catholicism in general?

I don't think anything particularly unique about Catholicism. I think it has more to do with losing the faith due to peer issues as a teen and then regaining the faith as an adult.

And, I think, in this case, one could easily replace Catholic with Orthodox or with one of the various Protestant sects easily enough. That is not always the case with posts from this site.

funny how much web’s prep school experience matched mine. Where did you go and what class?

Coming home was a slow process for me, helped by intellectuals I respected, like Buckley. Mostly, it was a decision to open my eyes and ears to signs of grace.

Finding a local parish practicing the tridentine (latin) mass, with its unearthly peace, purpose, solemnity, and beauty, was an epiphany for me.
