Thanks for the ping, Belloc is fantastic. I've got just about all his books. I sometimes end my posts with a few words I borrowed from him:

"All hail the New Paganism"

[Catholicguy]

I too have many of his books. Of course, he, like Chesterton, was, falsely, labelled an antisemite but his book "The Jews" was very accurate and sympathetic to their place on earth and in society etc.
"In Catholic countries,
where ever I go;
the good times and the red wine flows,
at least I've always found it so. Benedicamus Domino"
Belloc loved Catholicism, history, wine, the sea....he was the real deal
