[Buddha-l] Looking for an article/paper

[JKirkpatrick]

Did Williams ever publish about his decision to convert to Roman
Catholcism?
Could he have originally been a Catholic or form a Catholic
family?

  I don't know that article, or have access to it digitally. But
I thought I'd suggest, although you are probably already aware of
it, Paul Williams fascinating "The Reflexive Nature of Awareness:
A Tibetan Madhyamaka Defense." The fact that Williams converted
to Roman Catholicism soon after the book was published (after
living as a Tibetan Buddhist monk for two decades) demonstrates,
to my mind, the seriousness with which Williams engaged with the
issue of "What are Buddhists doing when they deny the self?"
