Carl Olson has posted a delightful essay by Dale Ahlquist, author of "Recovering The Lost Art of Common Sense 101 ." Here is just a brief sneak peek: The most famous thing Chesterton said is something he didn't say. He is always quoted as saying that when a man stops believing in God he doesn't believe in nothing, he believes in anything. It is a great line, and it is well worth quoting, and I have no doubt that Chesterton would agree with it and would be pleased to hear it quoted. But it's just not what he said. What he said was, "The first effect of not believing in God, is that you lose your common sense." [1] Since the line never gets quoted correctly, let's quote it correctly again: "The first effect of not believing in God, is that you lose your common sense." That means that in order for us to recover our common sense, we have to recover our faith. In order for us to recover our faith we need religious renewal and reform. Histor...

I confess ... I am a huge fan of the "Apostle of Common Sense," Gilbert K. Chesterton . So, when I saw this wonderful article on Ignatius Insight by Carl Olson, I couldn't pass it by . I hope you will not pass it by either. After all, as Olson notes: This year marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of G. K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy , widely regarded as one of the most important and unique works of Christian apologetics written in modern times . I would gladly second that. By the way, if you want to "sample Chesterton" before delving in, there is no better way than Gilbert Magazine . The publisher is Dale Ahlquist . Yes, that's right. He's the fine chap who explains Gilbert to us weekly on EWTN at 9:00 EST. That show is another delight!
