There is an interesting secular take on Chesterton’s book “What’s Wrong with the World” at the U. K. Guardian, a wonderful example of damning with faint praise. See http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2010/jan/08/gk-chesterton-world-whats-wrong and pay particular attention to the combox battle. I have been engaged into defending Chesterton and the Church by a rather condescending anti-Catholic, and I’m doing my best to be charitable, in the spirit of the great Gilbert himself.
