Not a (Roman) Catholic

[edit]

From its creation this article has claimed that Wilson converted to Catholicism, and the article was included in the category "Conversions to Roman Catholicism from Quakerism". This seems to have been a misunderstanding: I have checked the references cited and nothing is said about a conversion to Roman Catholicism, which seems unlikely in the extreme: she married an Anglican clergyman (Catholic clergy are celibate), whose father Daniel Wilson was an Anglican clergyman, as was at least one of Wilson's sons Edward Francis Wilson. It's true that the Church of England considers itself catholic as a matter of theology but when someone is described as a Catholic it universally means Roman Catholic.
