Today is the anniversary of the death of Gilbert Keith Chesterton. I’ve been told that there are a number of proponents to the cause of canonization for GK Chesterton. This 2009 Zenit article details an interview with Chesterton biographer Paolo Gulisano. This is a nice primer to the author’s reputation for holiness.
I was told that there are holy cards for private devotion to Chesterton, possibly through Dale Alhquist (of Gilbert! Magazine and the American Chesterton Society), but I’ve not seen any. Have you seen any?
What’s your favorite work by Chesterton?
For those who are new to Chesterton, may I recommend the following resources:
- American Chesterton Society: Who was this guy and why haven’t I heard of him? [This site has quotations, bibliography, reading plan, and all sorts of goodies for the beginner!]
- This GKC booklet published by the Catholic Truth Society (Free PDF for your reading here!)
