Tom was reared Lutheran but he and his wife became Episcopalian in 1960. He very involved in the Anglo-Catholic movement and considered themself Catholic. With much pain he watched the Anglican Communion flounder and fall apart without any source of true authority. Looking about he discovered that the Catholic Church is the only church that teaches with the authentic authority of Jesus Christ. Tom has written the following books: “The Empty Church: The Suicide of Liberal Christianity” and “America’s Bishop: The Life and Times of Fulton J. Sheen.”
