Steve Schwartz cuts admirably to the chase:

>Did Mahler really convert to Catholicism because he wanted to get into
>Alma's drawers, for example?

No.  He had to convert before taking the top spot at the Hofoper in 1897.
I can't find the exact date of the ceremony.  He didn't meet Alma until
Nov.  7, 1901.
