What's funny is that yesterday, when I checked this, GKChesterton's Orthodoxy was #25. Today, it isn't.
ReplyDeleteCan you really call "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" (#2) a CATHOLIC book?
ReplyDeleteIt is amazon's list of books by Catholics. Maybe one of the authors of that book grew up Catholic, or something.
ReplyDeleteNo. 1 is a book by Gary Wills, potentially even worse.
After that the list improves considerably. :-)
I thought the same thing: Gary Won'ts? Holy Blood? Who rates these as Catholic?
ReplyDeleteThe thing that really impressed me though, was the fact that our man GKC was on the top 25 list. That's cool. Even if it only lasted one day.

ReplyDeleteSomehow, this is very reassuring to me. Heartening. I shall sleep good tonight. Seriously.
