In a previous blog, I wrote about GK Chesterton and his response when a news publication in London told him he could write a column for the paper, as long as he didn’t write about politics or religion. He did take the job, but he said, “I didn’t write about anything but politics and religion.” He held that position for the publication for thirty years,
What I know of this huge man, both in scope and in physique, I find in his prolific writing and debating— courageous presentation of the truth. I do wonder if he wrote for a newspaper in the USA today, what would he say about our President Trump. I can only speculate; but I believe it would be most articulate, insightful and also include more than a touch of humor. Seriously, this is a philosopher who was known for catching buns in his mouth.
The truth is, I just know GK would love Trump with all his indictments and charges (unspecified by the court) and those women standing in line with open hands and money sacks over their shoulder. His observations would be sometimes strikingly piercing and other times hilariously humorous. They would of course be political and religious, whether overt or subtle.
To sum it up, although GK Chesterton was huge in his physical body and his body of work. I leave you with one short quote to ponder: “The way to love anything is to realize it may be lost.”
We have much to lose and only one man blocking this loss is Our beloved DJ Trump. Yes, I do believe in my heart of hearts, GK would love him! And pray our country will be preserved by God with Trump as his instrument, a most unlikely saint.
