The following quotes
are from this week’s reading, “The Surprise” at the St. Sebastian G. K.
Chesterton Society
FINDING TRUTH WHEREVER IT MAY BE FOUND: “Only witches and wicked sorcerers make men
captives by their enchantment; imprison them in beasts or birds or turn them to
stoen statues. God’s miracles always free
men from captivity and give them back their bodies.”
QUOTE II: “Obedience. The most thrilling world in the world; a very
thunderclap of a word. Why do all these
fools fancy that they soul is only free when it disagrees with the common
command?”
QUOTE III: “. . . the
only way to bind a gentleman is to tell him he is free.”
QUOTE IV: “But you
will never understand them in a thousand years, if you suppose that coarse and
common men love nothing except coarseness and commonness.”
IN OTHER NEWS:
Sent in from Michelle: "Since stepping onto the world stage, Pope Francis has fascinated Catholics and non-Catholics alike, as evidenced by his recent selection as “Man of the Year” by Time Magazine. But how much do you really know about the man who became Pope? What do his close friends, fellow priests, co-workers, his biographer, and the poor of Buenos Aires have to say about the first pope from the Americas?
Kevin sent this article in about student artists starting a new project in Stuebeniville. There is a second article here.
This sent in from Ellen: "Here is a nice, recent interview Dale gave to a popular secular website, Breitbart News/Big Hollywood. There are some juicy news tidbits in there, including an idea for a new Chesterton movie." Read more here.

Thanks for the heads up on that Pope Francis special on EWTN. It was wonderfully enlightening. It was so good to see footage of his face-to- face interactions with the Argentine people.
I was particularly struck by his graciousness to Argentine president, Cristina Fernandez who demonized his vigorous opposition on the very matters which the mainstream media would say that he doesn't care about, namely abortion, contraception, and the redefinition of marriage. Although she had refused his many requests for meetings with her back when he was archbishop in Argentina, he showed great hospitality to her when she visited him as pope in Rome. (Even the secular press got that story right, so it seems.) I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for their two hour private luncheon.
