In 1840 he converted to Catholicism and joined the Redemptorist Order at Clapham in London. In 1862 he left the Order and moved to Dublin where he served as a chaplain at the Mater Hospital and entered various controversies. His memoirs were virulently critical of the Russian government and the Roman Catholic church. For Fr.
