In 1969 he expressed that he was satisfied with the reforms of the council. On 12 May 1988, Thurian converted to Catholicism and was ordained a priest. On 24 July 1996, he published an article in L'Osservatore Romano in which, while maintaining his complete approval for the liturgical reform, he lamented that in its practical implementation there was a risk that the Mass would lose "its character of mystery".

Il se réfère à l'évêque Séguy et écrit : « Ce « passage », cette conversion, se firent en 1972, dans la chapelle de l’évêché d’Autun, diocèse où se trouve Taizé. Il y eut profession de la foi catholique puis communion des mains de Le Bourgeois. », puis ajoute : « Aucun acte écrit ne reste, semble-t-il, de cet événement mais frère Roger a donné le témoignage oral de cette adhésion à la foi catholique au successeur de Le Bourgeois, Séguy. » Cf. .
