Hasn't the church accepted evolution? It may have just been a theory in 1920 but it has a lot more evidence now. Not just a missing link but a whole branching family tree of early humans and ape men have been discovered since chestertons times.

If, as Chesterton says, "the real problem with evolution is that is it mistaken for an explanation," then the problem we have with Chesterton is that of mistaking wit for truth. He is clearly a brilliant, fearless and faithful ambassador for a certain world view, which makes his writing enjoyable even to skeptics. But it takes rather more today than it did a hundred years ago to truly convince an unbeliever. Today, we can click a link and instantly see a hundred other religions promoted with equal intensity and conviction -- though not, I will grant you, with equal wit! But wit is not evidence, and today, we have nearly 170 years of evolutionary science that has been tested and tempered in the crucible of vociferous debate, and come out the stronger for it. People can no longer be required to reject this science for the sake of a literal interpretation of scripture, and when they are, it detracts from the purely reasoned high ground that Chesterton claims as Christendom's alone. Rather, believers need to reconcile their faith with the evidence of their own eyes and reason. Evolution does not necessarily preclude God, but it contradicts a certain interpretation of God. Chesterton is right when he says that we must be humble in the face of an unfathomable mystery. That humility should include the possibility that some aspects of our interpretation may be wrong.

I wouldn't be here without the grace of God and the sanity of my dear Catholic brother Gilbert Keith. Thank you Mr. Chesterton.

Jesus knew he was being given a mild poison that would slow his heart and have him perceived as passed. this is why its documented that myrr and aloe was used. These are anti infection medicines. Jesus was resurrected and walked away back to the east , where he learned the non jewish practices. See BBC on youtube Jesus and Buddha. all the rest of Christianity is art and rhetoric and is still justified when one is a believer.

The first statement is hilarious. I hear that about many people and books. Phantasties apparently made C.S. Lewis a Christian immediately afterward; he got on a train an atheist, then read the book. Then there are those that say it was a conversation with Tolkien at Oxford, and he suddenly emerged Christian. Then there is the version that he actually converted Tolkien to Christianity. And here it is that Chesterton's book had the much fabled before-and-after effect. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

HOLY FACE “Rejoice, My Daughter; because the hour approaches when the most beautiful work under the Sun will be born.” Our Lord To Sister Mary of St Peter Our Lord refers here to the work of reparation to the Holy Face, which He revealed is destined to be the means of defeating atheistic Communism and restoring peace to the world. In Tours, France during the 1840’s a young Carmelite nun, Sister Marie of St Peter received a series of revelations from Our Lord about a powerful devotion He wished to be established worldwide - the devotion to His Holy Face. The purpose of this devotion was to make reparation for the blasphemies and outrages of “Revolutionary men” (the Communists) - through whom God is allowing the world to be chastised for its unbelief - as well as for the blasphemies of atheists and freethinkers and others, plus, for blasphemy and the profanation of Sundays by Christians. He said that those sins of blasphemy and the profanation of Sundays pierce His heart with a poisoned arrow. THE GOLDEN ARROW Our Lord gave Sister Mary this short but powerful prayer called’ “The Golden Arrow” by which a person can “shoot directly into the Heart of God” to heal the wounds inflicted on it by the malice of sinners. May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and ineffable Name of God be forever praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in Heaven, on Earth, and under the Earth by all the creatures of God and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen. After reciting this prayer, Sister Mary of St Peter was given a vision in which she saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus delightfully wounded by this “Golden Arrow” as torrents of graces streamed from it for the conversion of sinners. REPARATION PRAYER Offering The Holy Face of Our Lord Jesus Christ to GOD The Father in order to appease His Justice and draw down Mercy upon us. ETERNAL FATHER, turn away Thy angry gaze from our guilty people whose face has become unsightly in Thine eyes. Look instead upon the Face of Thy Beloved Son, for this is the Face of Him in Whom Thou art well pleased. We now offer Thee this Holy Face, covered with shame and disfigured by bloody bruises in reparation for the crimes of our age in order to appease Thine anger, justly provoked against us. Because Thy Divine Son, our Redeemer, has taken upon His Head all the sins of His members, that they might be spared, we now beg of Thee, Eternal Father, to grant us Mercy. Amen. PRAYER TO REPRODUCE THE IMAGE OF GOD IN OUR SOULS I Salute Thee, I Adore Thee, And I Love Thee, O Adorable Face of my Beloved JESUS, as the noble stamp of divinity! Completely surrendering my soul to Thee, I most humbly beg Thee to stamp this seal upon us all, so that the Image of GOD may once more be reproduced by its imprint in our souls. Amen. holywounds.net
