According to Italian Catholic circles, the former King of Afghanistan, Amanullah, and his wife, Souriya, converted to the Roman Catholic faith during their exile in Italy. It is understood that a Jesuit priest "is credited with having converted the deposed Afghan monarch."
A senior official at Cardinal Bourne's residence confirms the reports that the King, "disillusioned by reactionary Afghan mullahs," decided to convert from Islam to Christianity.
