The author of this text argues that, since the Reformation, the Roman Catholic Church has advanced to the position where it is more "reformed" than many protestant groups. The author, who spent 25 years as a priest of the Church of England, relates his personal experience of the Catholic Church as a newcomer, having converted to Roman Catholicism in 1994. He expresses the view that the Catholic faith speaks more clearly, and in his opinion, has achieved the position of being the most viably universal of churches.
