Sufjan Headed to Rome?

The Catholic Herald Interviews Sufjan Stevens

Sufjan explains that a lot of his friends have recently converted. "I think there's a renaissance of people just wanting to be part of the greater universal Church and putting aside all their qualms about it."

So what stops him? "There's a fear that I have of the authority of Catholicism, the cardinals, the bishops, the pope. I feel that nobody should have that much control."

This is one trend I hope Sufjan does not follow...

I've thought about converting in the past. I'm drawn to it for reasons that are more aesthetic and/or cultural than theological, but they of course have theological roots.

Percy has an essay called "Why I Am a Catholic" in Signposts in a Strange Land, which is an interesting read, and the whole book is full of Percy treasures--if you have time for leisure reading, I'd recommend it.
