Then in the '90s(?) there was a flurry of conversions to Catholicism (Opus Dei?) within the wingnut “Intelligence” community--CIA spooks and FBI, and connected media types [like Ingraham]...So she sort of took hiatus or something, with her spiritual conversion (sic), and adopted...orphans and [battled cancer]. And when she returned...[I noted that] she [was more] moderated in her demeanor...and she would wear a little gold cross. But in the next couple of years she gradually upped her wingnut rage back to her old self.

On her website she sold the little gold cross with some proceeds supposedly going to The Little Sisters of the Poor. I called [the LSP] and asked the Mother Superior whether a convert might be expected to show some kindness instead of harsh beliefs and language, shouldn’t “spirituality” show itself somehow in a convert. She (sounding elderly) was astounded, said she had never heard of INGRAHAM or knew of no donations from her, and would look into it.
