“If you reject me on account of my religion, I shall thank God that He has spared me the indignity of being your representative.”

Like most of the words that escaped from his mouth or his pen, Hilaire Belloc’s famous speech to British voters was fiery, forceful and fueled by his faith.

It’s a great tragedy of history that Belloc has been pushed into the shadow of his friend and collaborator, G.K. Chesterton. Whether in prose or Parliament, Belloc was a force of nature. His life was one extended adventure, from escaping death as an infant to achieving fame as Oxford’s top debater to challenging the anti-Catholic prejudices of the British establishment.

And although he lived from 1870-1953, the alarm bells which he rang against elitist assaults on the Christian foundations of Western civilization are as prophetic and resonant today as they were in his time.

Our guest for this episode is Belloc biographer and internationally acclaimed writer, scholar and speaker, Joseph Pearce. Pearce is the author of over a dozen books. Alongside Old Thunder, his biography of Hilaire Belloc, his works include best-selling volumes on G. K. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Shakespeare.

Pearce currently serves as St. John Henry Newman Chair in Catholic Studies at Thomas More College, Director of Book Publishing at the Augustine Institute, editor of the Ignatius Critical Editions and the St. Austin Review, and senior contributor at The Imaginative Conservative.

In this episode, Os Guinness shares about his latest book Signals of Transcendence which is written to provide ten examples of famous atheists who came to know God through a unique moment in their life. Each story gives a brief summary of figures like Chesterton and Lewis highlighting their specific experience that led them to begin to take God more seriously. We also explore what it looks like for Christians to engage culture and politics during revolutionary times. Many Christians today just want to keep their heads down and remain faithful as Western civilization declines. Os counters this idea and suggests a better way for Christians to witness in the American republic.

Joseph listened to a Catholic/Protestant debate about sola scriptura recently, and was struck by how both sides seemed detached from the Catholic sensibility about where scripture comes from.

The quote he shared is from G.K. Chesterton's The Catholic Church and Conversion:  https://ignatius.com/the-catholic-church-and-conversion-ccacp/?gclid=CjwKCAjwq-WgBhBMEiwAzKSH6ES1t3UdpbJ9Q_ysbl-J-FpQminmh2pfPORS9GXOyKr46EBhYpZ0ZxoCUmsQAvD_BwE

My thoughts on the department of (no) education. Plus, police killed a white man in Utah -- where are the protestors? And, Tiger Woods's ex is suing him for $30 million for "severe emotional damage".

Before you get too far, know that this episode is predicated upon you listening to episode 106, "The Catholic Church and Conversion". So if you haven't listened to that one, please do so! It's taken from Chesterton's book by that name, and is quite good.

We're back for a longer-length episode this time, with an unpremeditated discussion of some of Chesterton's best work. I say 'unpremeditated' because Crystal and I often touch base about major points we'd like to discuss, and I pressed the 'record' button before we had a chance to do so, because recording with a full-term-plus-four-days woman is a chancy thing, not to be delayed. And I say 'best work' because I think he hit upon something about conversion that so many atheists and agnostics see, and so many cultural Christians/cradle Catholics miss, which is that it's a terrifying thing to say yes to something as bold as the claims of the Catholic Church. And I say 'discussion' because there were times neither of us were quite sure where we were going, but we were glad to keep going until we got there.

Anywho, we hope you enjoy!

We get a sneak peek at the new Anita king museum dedicated to her. Then we check out an awesome tie dye company before finishing off with a funny segment all about outdoor dining areas in northwest Indiana.

I've heard a lot of different ways people talk about conversion, but there's something about the three stages that Chesterton outlines from his own conversion that I very much appreciate and have seen in many stories. He captures in his inimitable style some aspects of the path of conversion that I don't hear spoken of elsewhere. So I decided to just read passages from Chesterton wherein he describes these three stages of becoming fair to the Church, then fond of the Church, and then, penultimately, fearful of the Church. (Ultimately, the last stage is becoming faithful, but he's not talking about that in this chapter of his book.)

There's a lot in G.K. Chesterton's essay, "On Certain Modern Writers and the Institution of the Family", and we set out to discuss some of it in this episode!

From the reserved style, to the fear of the other, to the problem of evil, to our sincere desire to sit and talk with Chesterton himself, our conversation on this essay was freeform, a free-for-all, and free for all. 

A book that is mentioned is Uniformity with God's Will, by St. Alphonsus Liguori. It can be found as an e-text and audio text here: https://www.ccel.org/ccel/alphonsus/uniformity.html or for purchase here: https://tanbooks.com/sanctification/spiritual-master-books/uniformity-with-gods-will/

“Ahora espero en calma a que
la catástrofe de mi personalidad
parezca hermosa de nuevo,
interesante y moderna.

El campo es gris 
y marrón y blanco en los árboles.
Nieves y cielos de risas
siempre apagándose. Menos alegre,
no sólo oscuro, no sólo gris.

Puede que sea el día más frío del año,
¿qué pensará de eso?
Quiero decir: ¿qué pienso yo? 
Y si lo hago,
quizás vuelvo a ser yo de nuevo.”

Frank O'Hara - Mayakovski

Una de las series de mi vida es sin ninguna duda Mad Men. Su segunda temporada termina con un capítulo maravilloso y con el fragmento del poema que te acabo de leer y al que seguramente no le he hecho mucha justicia. El capítulo se llama Meditaciones en una Emergencia, en honor al título del libro de Frank O’Hara al que pertenece el poema en cuestión. 

Y es que esa segunda temporada transcurre en un momento clave del siglo XX, con la tensión de la Guerra Fría al máximo por la crisis de los misiles. Fueron meses en los que buena parte de los estadounidenses tuvieron que convivir con el miedo a que sus ciudades sufrieran un ataque nuclear que creían inminente. 

En momentos de crisis como ese, o como el que vivimos mientras grabo este capítulo, la incertidumbre se apodera de nuestras vidas. Así que no se me ocurre mejor momento para hablarte de modelos mentales sobre lo desconocido y sus consecuencias.
