Yes!!!

If you haven’t seen the Chesterton show, Sundays at 9 on EWTN, you’re missing a real treat.

Chesterton’s writings are fantastic.

... but if he wasn’t a saint before his death, he won’t become one now.

So would he be St. Gilbert? St. Keith? St. G.K.?

There’s an excellent new BBC adaptation of the Father Brown stories. If it comes on BBC America or US cable, watch it.

The best is still the classic 1954 film with Alec Guinness and Peter Finch though.

I’m no Catholic, but for my part, I’d like to see Bill Clinton and Barack Obama “cannonized.”

I’ve read all of Chesterton’s works, but he is not deserving of being elevated to sainthood.

Well, neither was John Paul, but look what happened to his application.

Chesterson was a proponent of distributism, and interesting political philosophy considering our current era of Big Government, Big Business, and our march toward totalitarianism.
