Mark Shea on G. K. Chesterton

"Chesterton has been called the 'Laughing Prophet', and with good reason.  He was one of the most consistently funny writers in English.  But he is also one of the most insightful.  Reading his writing from a century ago, one is struck again and again by how much of the 20th Century he foresaw - and how blind his trendier contemporaries were to the outcome of their fashionable philosophies."

Writer Mark Shea recently offered a few thoughts on G. K. Chesterton, the anniversary of whose death was observed on Tuesday (14 June).
