In answer to Kingsley, again encouraged by Badeley, Newman published in bi-monthly parts his "Apologia Pro Vita Sua", a religious autobiography. Its tone changed the popular estimate of its author, by explaining the convictions which had led him into the Catholic Church. Kingsley's general accusation against the Catholic clergy is dealt with later in the work; his specific accusations are addressed in an appendix. Newman maintains that English Catholic priests are at least as truthful as English Catholic laymen. Newman published a revision of the series of pamphlets in book form in 1865; in 1913 a combined critical edition, edited by Wilfrid Ward, was published. In the book, Newman wrote, "here are but two alternatives, the way to Rome, and the way to Atheism."
