Chesterton's cause will not be opened, much less proceed, without a solid, grass-roots effort by people like us to swamp Bishop Doyle with letters. Everyone sit down and write a letter.
ReplyDeleteAnd more important than that: prayers and mortification. Or as St. Josemaria Escriva used to say, "In the first place, prayer. In the second place, expiation. And third -- and very much third -- action."
I sent my letter today! Should I send another one in a month or so?
ReplyDeleteSeems to me Chesterton, though a wonderful man, was not an example of heroic virtue. I wish we were pushing to have him named a Doctor of the Church instead.
ReplyDeleteChris: yes!
ReplyDeleteGramps: doesn't sainthood come before one can be declared a doctor of the church? And why would't he be an example of heroic virtue?
