This fellow, a writer living in Italy, tells here a funny, irreverent, sad story in which he bemoans Italians and the pressure he is put under to become Catholic. 

But I have to, at least would like to, think he’s in a process of discovery and, frankly, would welcome more from him in this vein.  He asks good questions, for one thing.

There’s a lot of this going on, this Catholic awareness expressed by writers.  Aren’t things Catholic being discussed a lot?
