I believe the very first paragraph fits eagleone to a T:

THE USUAL ARTICLE

“THE Editor of an evening paper published recently what he
announced as, and even apologized for as “an unusual article.”
He anxiously guarded himself from expressing any opinion on the
dreadful and dangerous views which the unusual article set forth.
Needless to say, before I had read five lines of the unusual article,
I knew it was a satisfactory sample of the usual article.
It was even a careful and correct copy of the usual article;
a sort of prize specimen, as if a thing could be unusually usual.
I had read the article before, of course—thousands and thousands
of times (as it seems to me)—and had always found it the same;
but never before, somehow, had it seemed so exactly the same.”

... but ithe meaning may be too obscure for the Protestant masses coming from someone as Catholic as Chesterton.

For the Greater Glory of God
