Aus Kapitel XII. “Paganism and Mr. Lowes Dickinson” in Heretics. There is only one thing in the modern world that has been face to face with Paganism; there is only one thing in the modern world which in that sense knows anything about Paganism: and that is Christianity. That fact is really the weak point [...]
Als Otto von Habsburg von der Fahne sprach musste ich an Chestertons The Flag of the World denken, nur dem Namen nach. Aber dieser Ausschnitt passt dann vielleicht auch thematisch. We all owe much sound morality to the penny dreadfuls. Whatever the reason, it seemed and still seems to me that our attitude towards life [...]
Zwar sieht die Figur mehr aus wie Einstein, aber es soll Chesterton sein, der hier über Sola Scriptura spricht und damit die Tradition verteidigt. A quotation from “The Catholic Church and Conversion”, by G.K. Chesterton. “. . . I find it very difficult to take some of the Protestant propositions even seriously. What [...]

Die American Chesterton Society hat auf ihrer Website einen Interessanten Artikel zum Distributismus veröffentlicht, genau genommen ein 12 Punkte Programm von Sean P. Dailey. Gilbert Magazine is inspired to give its readers a gift: a way to detoxify from Capitalism. In favor of what? Distributism, of course. Like that other “concept” found difficult and thus left [...]
“When we step into the family, by the act of being born, we do step into a world which is incalculable, into a world which has its own strange laws, into a world which could do without us, into a world we have not made. In other words, when we step into the family we [...]
“To do Mohammed justice, his main attack was against the idolatries of Asia. Only he thought, just as the Arians did and just as the Unitarians do, that he could attack them better with a greater approximation to plain theism. What distinguishes his heresy from anything like an Arian or Albigensian heresy is that, as [...]
Der erste Abschnitt aus Heretics. Nothing more strangely indicates an enormous and silent evil of modern society than the extraordinary use which is made nowadays of the word “orthodox.” In former days the heretic was proud of not being a heretic. It was the kingdoms of the world and the police and the judges who [...]
Ich fand Benedikts Ideen gut, da google Docs aber natürlich keine Diskussionsplattform ist habe ich folgendes Forum eingerichtet, welches wir nutzen können, auch ohne Anmeldung. Deutsche Chesterton-Gesellschaft Forum
“How true that is,” he cried. “I have felt it from my boyhood, but never could state the verbal antithesis. The common criminal is a bad man, but at least he is, as it were, a conditional good man. He says that if only a certain obstacle be removed—say a wealthy uncle—he is then prepared [...]
Find ich sehr geschickt gemacht. Der Fall wird grob erklärt, aber völlig ohne die Lösung zu verraten. Dafür wird die Theologie Chestertons erklärt, welche er in die Geschichte einfließen lässt. Ich kenn nur die ersten 3 Bücher, daher ist dieser Fall hier auch etwas neues für mich, der andere bei Youtube verfügbare Fall stammt aus [...]

In Amerika gibt es dutzende von lokalen Gruppen die sich treffen, Texte von Chesterton lesen und darüber sprechen. Die Vernetzung der verschiedenen Gruppen hat zur großen American Chesterton Society geführt, welche mittlerweile die sechste Staffel der EWTN-Serie “The Apostle of Common Sense” veröffentlicht hat. Die Texte von Chesterton sind für jeden gläubigen Katholiken, ja für [...]
When the ordinary opponents of Socialism talk about impossibilities and alterations in human nature they always miss an important distinction. In modern ideal conceptions of society there are some desires that are possibly not attainable: but there are some desires that are not desirable. That all men should live in equally beautiful houses is a [...]
There is heard a hymn when the panes are dim, And never before or again, When the nights are strong with a darkness long, And the dark is alive with rain. Never we know but in sleet and in snow, The place where the great fires are, That the midst of the earth is a [...]
