Mark Galli, highly respected figure of US evangelicalism, converts to Catholicism (link).
Until January 2020, Mark Galli edited the world's largest evangelical monthly, Christianity Today (with a circulation of 120,000 copies). Presbyterian, then Anglican, he eventually joined the Catholic Church in Rome.
