Unfortunately I can't find Sidney Horler's exact quote where he called Lawrence a dirty old man. Be assured it exists.<BR/><BR/> Chesterton was a Roman Catholic.

Regardless, it's a good quip.<BR/><BR/>In Chesterton's defense, he had some good things to say about the Puritans as well. Still, he overall had a skewed view of Calvinism, which is a real shame.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06229664869019275181noreply@blogger.com
