JJ Niekro and GKC

JJ Niekro (son of former pitcher Joe Niekro, and the nephew of Hall of Fame pitcher Phil Niekro), mentions in this interview that he loves GKC and (at the time of the interview) he had read Orthodoxy and was reading The Well and the Shallows.

Pope Leo quotes GKC

Pope Leo recently quoted GKC:

There is a quote from the author Chesterton that can serve as a key to understanding everything I would like to share with you: "Take away the supernatural, and what remains is the unnatural" (cf. Heretics, VI). Man is not made to live closed in on himself, but in a living relationship with God. When that relationship is obscured or weakened, life begins to fall into disorder from within. The unnatural is not only the scandalous; it is enough to live without God in daily life, leaving him out of the criteria and decisions with which we face existence. [Source]

Our complex theology is only complex when we study it. It is simple when we see it. It can be seen as a whole and loved like a person. The plainest peasant in the smallest church sees it as a single thing, and the greatest Catholic scholar still sees it as the same thing
