She has been the \"victim\" of much Catholic-bashing and has had the courage to stand firm in her faith to all. I will make sure she receives the above referenced books (for my granddaughter also) and I thank you for this great article. It made my soul sing. - Liz Kayne Thu, 02 Oct 2008 04:26:07 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/the-chesterbelloc-thing.html#comment-39 The \"Red Dean\" was Hewlett Johnson, not Dean Inge - Inge was known as the \"gloomy Dean.\" - Benedict Kiely Wed, 01 Oct 2008 21:53:19 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/the-chesterbelloc-thing.html#comment-38 Belloc also wrote accounts of his travels. In a Salvation Army thrift store I found The Path to Rome. \\\\\\\"It was in the very beginning of June, at evening, but not yet sunset, that I set out from Toul by the Nancy gate...\\\\\\\" and walked to Rome. The year was 1901, before cars, radio, and the convulsions soon to take place, and he swerved neither right nor left, but in a typically Bellocian manner went across the grain of the terrain. Gateway Editions, with his own line drawings. Delightful. - Raymond Barry Wed, 01 Oct 2008 10:09:20 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/the-chesterbelloc-thing.html#comment-37 Re \\\\\\\"privatization\\\\\\\" We need to confess the faith much more. One way to do that is to stop hiding our rosaries in our fists as we walk from here to there. Our Lord wants us to avoid praying in order to be seen, but letting ourselves be seen is a different matter. This is hardly the modern day equivalent of piously blowing a trumpet on a street corner. Somewhere I read that the early Christians were known for two things, hissing at idols and making the sign of the cross frequently. - Lee Gilbert Wed, 01 Oct 2008 09:17:12 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/the-chesterbelloc-thing.html#comment-36 One of the best posts yet. I really think \"The Catholic Thing\" is at its best when it touches on the Church and avoids the election. I can go to a host of other sites for politics. Articles like this are why I come to this site. - Megs Wed, 01 Oct 2008 08:29:26 +0100
