Ernest Hemingway converted to Roman Catholicism at some point in his life, although the precise date is disputed. He certainly belonged to the Church when he married according to her rites in the 1920s. Here is a, well, rather lurid account of his reason for converting (warning: it verges on the immodest). Not the sort of stuff that Marcus Grodi would have on his show, but interesting nonetheless.
While Hemingway did not lead an exemplary life (whether in his personal morals or his political activities), according to the second article link, Catholicism was in fact an undercurrent in his work. He continued to do his Easter duty, at least, and he received a Catholic Requiem Mass since he was ruled to have been mentally deranged at the time of his suicide.
