Grover Norquist was a guest on Michael Medved's radio show. He was talking about the Republican candidates for president and how the party should allow people to convert in their political views from less conservative to more conservative. He added, "The reason the Catholic Church maintains its market share is because it accepts converts."
'Catholic Church' and 'market share' have never crossed my mind in the same thought.

Quasi-related, one of the comments I heard of Romney came from Mary Katherine Ham's friend Katie Favazza earlier this year, to the effect that yes, Romney has apparently changed his mind on abortion, but don't we want people to change their mind? Don't we want to encourage converts, and not close them out? I've always thought one of the more apealling aspects of the GOP generally is its openness to converts, in distinction to a democratic party that looks for heretics. Of course, that's become less true in recently years...
