Oscar Wilde's fascination with the Catholic Church

Long but interesting. I didn't realize until recently that he converted on his deathbed.

Even longer; but also fascinating is Joseph Pearce's biography: The Unmasking of Oscar Wilde. Pearce is a great Catholic literary biographer and meticulously traces Wilde's interaction with the Church.
I highly recommend it and his books on C.S. Lewis and Tolkien as well.
