Elizabeth Scalia on Making a Choice

“[Recently], I linked to remarks from Pope Francis (which you should go read, because they’re great) and I mentioned that they reminded me of what are purported to be the last words of G.K. Chesterton: ‘It is between light and darkness, and everyone must choose his side.’

“[Later], Francis’ words came to me again, and once again, they brought me to Chesterton, but a different line.

“Pope Francis said: ‘Everyone must make his choice.’

“Chesterton said: "’When you chose one thing, you reject everything else.’

“That’s quite a challenge these two men are bringing us, isn’t it? Everyone must choose; everyone must, having chosen, understand that their choice means a rejection of everything else.”

In a recent commentary, writer Elizabeth Scalia reflected on choosing to place Christ first in our lives .
