What was William Wilberforce's association with John Newton?
Both John Newton and William Wilberforce had conversion experiences and became Evangelical Christians and both were Abolitionists. Wilberforce asked John Newton if he should preach and Newton convinced Wilberforce that he could be most effective in fighting the slave trade by remaining in Parliament. While they had different careers, they both worked together for the abolitionist movement. Wilberforce did some preaching. At that time it was illegal for a layman to preach in the same church more than once every six months. We do where he may have preached. Newton was a good friend of Whitefield, a great Calvinist evangelist of the great awakening. He too opposed slavery. At this point we can assume that Whitefield, Newton, Wilberforce, and Cowper composed a team opposing slavery.

When did William Wilberforce become a Catholic?
I don't believe that William Wilberforce, Anglican Evangelical and founder of the British Abolitionist movement in Parliament, ever did become a Catholic. His son, however, Henry William Wilberforce did convert to Catholicism in 1850 after serving as an Anglican cleric for nearly 17 years. It is believed that he followed his wife into the Catholic church - though one of his benefactors in the Anglican church was John Henry (Cardinal) Newman, who discovered his own alignment with Catholic doctrine and dogma while authoring an extended series of "tracts" against them.
Why did William wilberforce try and stop slavery?
C.L.R. James (The Black Jacobins) said that William Wilberforce sought the abolition of slavery because at the time abolition was in the interests of British commerce.In the late 18th century, France enjoyed great spoils of slave labour from its colonies in the West Indies. By closing down the slave trade to the West Indies, Wilberforce sought to deprive the French of cheap labour. In other words, when self-interest reigns, morality will follow in its train.Slavery may also have been morally unacceptable to wilberforce who had well developed,firmly held religious values.
