I was an atheist for most of my life, but recently I've turned agnostic - which, I explain to my believer friends, is really most of the work done. I recognise that English Socialism in this respect has almost the opposite history from the French tradition (libres penseurs they were at home, not quite in the écrasons l'infâme mode, more prone to smiling at the MRP's mômeries; I read Jean Barois (http://www.rabac.com/demo/ELLIT/Dossiers/duGard.htm) at 13 and cried at the end.)
However, how is Tone betraying Socialism by converting to Catholicism? (won't comment on anything else he did except to say he seemed more preoccupied with foxes than with la classe ouvrière...)
