Just copy and paste this URL, and see the tribute paid by Buckley to this important modern philosopher. Mortimer Adler came to the Church by his personal investigation into the truth. He didn't arrive there by accident. He based his understanding of the Catholic faith on the great mind God gave him; a mind he did not waste.

Dear Eugene: great minds, like Mortimer Adler, don't die. As a young student I read for the first time some of Mortimer Adler's work and I can sicerely say that he helped me to get a desiere to know more and to know it better. As a teacher I have been recommending his books to my sutdents. God bless his soul.

Thanks for the news, Gene.
Another recent and famous convert from Judaism is news commentator Robert Novak. It was marvelous to see a recent interview of Novak on EWTN.
