In July 1922 Chesterton was finally received into the Catholic Church. Eight weeks later he received the sacrament of confirmation, choosing Francis as his confirmation name

Thanks for this post.

I wanted to inform readers that the linked interview with the author on Oscar Wilde is also well worth the time:

Very cool, thanks! I can most certainly relate to the descent into Decadence thing. So much to learn here!

It’s an excellent book. Well worth reading.

I would also recommend his book on “Thomas Aquinas: The Dumb Ox.”
