Synopsis"Mustard Seeds" is the journal of a remarkable spiritual odyssey, the origin and destination points of which are edentified in the volume's subtitle: "A Conservative Becomes a Catholic."A reader not yet exposed to the intellectual clarity and rhetorical force of L. Brent Bozell's writings might be excused for responding to the subtitle with: "Huh? A conservative becomes a Catholic? Can't you just be both?" And if Bozell were alive to witness that response, he might comment: "See what I mean?"In the early '60s, L. Brent Bozell was a rising star---one of the brightest stars---in what was just then becoming known as the "conservative movement." But long before the conservative movement apogee---Ronald Reagan's election to the presidency in 1980----Bozell had moved on."Mustard Seeds "records the milestones along Bozell's progress to the heart, in the form of articles and speeches he wrote before, during and after his founding of the seminal Catholic journal of opinion, "Triumph "magazine (published from September 1966 until July 1975).", Mustard Seeds is the journal of a remarkable spiritual odyssey, the origin and destination points of which are edentified in the volume's subtitle: A Conservative Becomes a Catholic . A reader not yet exposed to the intellectual clarity and rhetorical force of L. Brent Bozell's writings might be excused for responding to the subtitle with: "Huh? A conservative becomes a Catholic? Can't you just be both?" And if Bozell were alive to witness that response, he might comment: "See what I mean?" In the early '60s, L. Brent Bozell was a rising star---one of the brightest stars---in what was just then becoming known as the "conservative movement." But long before the conservative movement apogee---Ronald Reagan's election to the presidency in 1980----Bozell had moved on. Mustard Seeds records the milestones along Bozell's progress to the heart, in the form of articles and speeches he wrote before, during and after his founding of the seminal Catholic journal of opinion, Triumph magazine (published from September 1966 until July 1975)., Mustard Seeds is the journal of a remarkable spiritual odyssey. By the mid-1960s, Brent Bozell had contributed as much any individual to the conservative movement's capture of the Republican Party. But long before that movement's apogee in the 1980s, Bozell had moved on, discovering that his Catholic faith demanded more than conservatism could accommodate. The writings gathered here demonstrate Bozell's extraordinary honesty and courage.
