Anthony Burgess’ Catholicism and world view?9

2 days ago 12

I first read A Clockwork Orange in high school and its themes and discussion of growth and redemption and free choice lead me to eventually joining the Catholic Church later in life. I am still trying to understand Burgess as a person years later. Was he a devout Catholic? A progressive Catholic? A lapsed Catholic of sorts? Also what is the difference between the Protestant monarchy that England is and the Catholic monarchy he wanted? I am just trying to figure the man out.
