Tolkien – ihr Werk würde heute ohne MacDonald, dem „Grossvater“ des Fantasy-Genres, ganz anders aussehen. Aber er war nicht nur Fantasy-Autor, sondern auch Theologe und Pfarrer.

Paolo Gulisano, Alessandro Gnocchi"Elogio del cuore mite"Introduzione di Guido ContiEdizioni Areswww.edizioniares.it“Guardiamoci attorno, pensiamo alla nostra vita: abbiamo mai vissuto un giorno seguendo la verità della mitezza? Alessandro Gnocchi e Paolo Gulisano ci accompagnano alla riscoperta di questo tema attraverso un ricco panorama di letture, riletture e scoperte. La mitezza oggi è un valore da riscoprire. Nella società della violenza diffusa, nelle nostre vite rancorose, insoddisfatte, frustrate e sofferenti non solo dal punto di vista fisico, la mitezza può diventare un percorso di felicità per sé stessi e per chi ci sta di fronte, un modo per smorzare l'onda d'urto che ogni giorno la vita ci riserva in maniera più o meno violenta.”(Guido Conti)Alessandro Gnocchi si occupa delle tematiche religiose nella letteratura moderna e contemporanea. In questo àmbito, ha pubblicato scritti su Cristina Campo, Fëdor Dostoevskij, J.R.R. Tolkien, G.K. Chesterton, Georges Simenon, Carlo Collodi e Arthur Conan Doyle. A Giovannino Guareschi, di cui è considerato uno dei maggiori studiosi, ha dedicato una decina di opere, tra cui Don Camillo & Peppone. L'invenzione del vero (Rizzoli), Giovannino Guareschi. Una storia italiana (Rizzoli), Viaggio sentimentale nel Mondo piccolo di Guareschi (Rizzoli), Lettere ai posteri di Giovannino Guareschi (Marsilio), Andavamo con Dio e tornavamo al tramonto (DreamBook) e, nel catalogo Ares, il profilo letterario Giovannino Guareschi. La poetica della libertà (2025). Si occupa inoltre di spiritualità dell'Oriente cristiano, a cui ha dedicato tra l'altro il volume Ritorno alle sorgenti (Monasterium, 2023), già tradotto in tedesco e russo.Paolo Gulisano è nato a Milano nel 1959.

"Einsame Gegnerin", "Solitary Opponent": So wurde Elizabeth Anscombe vom Manchester Guardian genannt, als sie eine flammende Protestrede gegen die Verleihung der Oxforder Ehrendoktorwürde an Harry S. Truman hielt. Dieser hatte den Befehl zum Einsatz der Atombomben gegeben, die über Hiroshima und Nagasaki abgeworfen wurden. Damals stand Anscombe noch auf verlorenem Posten. Inzwischen hat sich das Urteil der berühmtesten Philosophin des 20. Jahrhunderts durchgesetzt.

I wanted to share with you an old parable that I just learned of that I can't stop thinking about. It's called Chesterton's Fence and I think it's important today. “There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, ‘I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away.' To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: ‘If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.”But here is my version…A man is walking a new piece of property he recently acquired when he comes across a fence that seems out of place and unnecessary. The man begins removing the fence, and soon the nice elderly woman next door approaches him and asks, “What is the purpose of that fence you are taking down?” The man replies, “It serves no purpose, so I'm clearing it away.”The woman replies, “It sure looks like someone took a lot of time, care, and resources to erect that fence. Are you certain you know its purpose before you set out to destroy it?”The man grows frustrated that this stranger is telling him how to manage his new property. Showing his frustration, he replies, “Please mind your own business and allow me to improve my property.” The lady shakes her head and returns to her house.But the next June, they awaken to find their crops trampled. A bug that only spawns between June and July had reappeared, flooding their fields. And when the rabbits, raccoons, and other critters came to eat them, they trampled the entire crop, destroying the family's income for that year.When I was younger, I wanted to reform everything. I would come across a fence and want to destroy it. But the fence most likely served a greater purpose that I was unaware of. Tearing down the fence could result in unintended consequences in the future. Think about when you come across a stop sign that seems pointless. Maybe it was erected because of repeated fatal accidents at that intersection over the years. Think about the new “boss” at work that comes in and tries to “fix” everything but is actually destroying decades of progress and improvements that the previous team only learned through the scar tissue of their experiences. (This explains exactly how I felt after we sold Liquid Web and the new guys came in and changed everything! Only now, 10 years later, are they realizing that may have made a mistake.) There is another recent example that sticks out to me and that all parents deal with and something that caused massive harm to thousands, maybe millions, of kids. Around the year 2000, a committee of pediatricians came across a proverbial fence. Parents were feeding their children cows milk, eggs, peanuts and fish for thousands of years. The pediatricians were trying to reduce allergies, which can sometimes be very severe, in their young patients. The pediatricians convened a committee and came up with the “1, 2, 3 rule”. It was their “expert opinion” that parents should delay cows milk until age 1, eggs until age 2, nuts and fish until age 3. This was a massive change for parents and a large educational campaign commenced with pediatricians everywhere warning their patients to avoid these foods or risk allergies in their children. So what was the result? In 2000, the rate of peanut allergies in kids was about .4% and severe peanut allergy was extremely rare. Within 2 years, the rate had doubled to .8%. Today, the rate is about 2% or more. But most troubling, the rate of severe peanut allergy and death has skyrocketed. Which is why schools and daycares have to treat peanuts as if they are a biological weapon and ban them everywhere. By removing what seemed like a fence, natural early exposure, experts created an epidemic of food allergies that harmed an entire generation of kids.It's easy to laugh at the mistakes of past experts with the benefit of hindsight. But the truth is, we are all standing in fields full of old fences. Some are wise, some are useless, some are harmful to leave standing, and some are dangerous to tear down. The lesson of Chesterton's Fence is not to avoid change. It is to stop, ask why something exists, and understand the scar tissue that built it before you swing the hammer. History shows us clearly that rushing to remove a fence without knowing its purpose often makes things worse, not better.If you enjoyed this all I ask is that you tell me, or share it with a friend.

(SPOILER ALERTt: Do not listen to this until you have heard Episode 146 "Urban Legend".) This is  a short postscript to our "Urban Legend" episode based on feedback from a listener. It has to do with a very curious grave in Chesterton, Indiana, which may be related to our story.  And here is the grave:

G.K. Chesterton is one of the great Catholic converts and writers of the 20th century, but much of his personal life has remained obscure until today! Get Your Copy Here: https://ignatius.com/i-also-had-my-hour-ahhp/?searchid=3228600&search_query=i+also+had+my+hour   Dr. Dale Ahlquist joins Andrew Petiprin to discuss a book he has been working on for over a decade—an alternative autobiography of G.K. Chesterton. It remains an autobiography because he compiles the scatter writings where Chesterton talks about himself. This unique view of Chesterton reveals more of his personal life that even the most diehard devotee knows. In this episode, they discuss the compilation of a very detailed timeline of Chesterton's life as well as his conversion, his political philosophy, and his relationship with his wife. These details not only reveal a private side to Chesterton, but highlight the extreme holiness of one of the most insightful thinkers of the 20th century.   SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION The madman jumped into their midst and pierced them with his eyes.“Whither is God?” he cried; “I will tell you.We have killed him—you and I. All of us are his murderers.But how did we do this? How could we drink up the sea?Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon?What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun?Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving? Away from all suns?Are we not plunging continually?Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down?Are we not straying, as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space?Has it not become colder? Is not night continually closing in on us?”~“The Parable of the Madman” by Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) “How much larger your life would be, if your self could become smaller in it.”~G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936), author and literary critic in Orthodoxy “For even creation reveals Him who formed it, and the very work made suggests Him who made it, and the world manifests Him who ordered it.”~Irenaeus (c.125-c.202), early church leader, in Against Heresies (II.9.1) “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is allYe know on earth, and all ye need to know.” “A thing of beauty is a joy forever:Its loveliness increases; it will neverPass into nothingness; but still will keepA bower quiet for us, and a sleep…An endless fountain of immortal drink,Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink.”~John Keats (1795-1821) from “Ode to a Grecian Urn” and Endymion “Because the face of God is so lovely, my brothers and sisters, so beautiful, once you have seen it, nothing else can give you pleasure. It will give insatiable satisfaction of which we will never tire. We shall always be hungry and always have our fill.”~Augustine (354-430 A.D.), North African church leader and theologian “Glory is the beauty of God unveiled! Glory is the resplendent radiance of His power and His personality…. Glory is the external elegance of the internal excellencies of God. Glory is what you see and experience and feel when God goes public with His beauty!”~C. Samuel Storms (1951-present), theologian and authorSERMON PASSAGEPsalm 191 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.2 Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. Isaiah 6 1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said:“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;the whole earth is full of his glory!” John 1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…. 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 12 41 Isaiah said these things because he saw [Jesus's] glory and spoke of him. 42 Nevertheless, many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue; 43 for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God. John 17 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed….24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.Leviticus 10 1 Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, which he had not commanded them. 2 And fire came out from before the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord. 3 Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord has said: ‘Among those who are near me I will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified.'” And Aaron held his peace. 1 Corinthians 3 16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? 17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple. Romans 118 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

„Zanim rozpoczął walkę z cudzymi ideałami społecznymi, posiadł ideał własny. Ukształtował go też sobie w oparciu o historię; zamyka go w trójwyrazowej dewizie rewolucji francuskiej: Wolność, Równość, Braterstwo” – pisał jeszcze przed wojną o Gilbercie K. Chestertonie jeden z uznanych badaczy literatury. „Epigonem, względnie kontynuatorem tradycji nacjonalizmu jakobińskiego” – nazywa się go w innym, współczesnym opracowaniu naukowym. Jak to możliwe, że słynny angielski konwertyta na katolicyzm, popularny w kręgach tradycjonalistów, obdarzony przez Piusa XI tytułem „Obrońcy wiary”, wyznawał poglądy tak nieprzystające do stereotypu prawicowca?

Matussek feiert Donald Trumps Siegfrieden und zeigt sich belustigt über den zähneknirschenden und überaus vergifteten Beifall der Linksmedien. Des Weiteren, im Anschluss an die letzte Sendung, die Nominierung des jungen Romanautors und Familienvaters Julian Adrat, dessen grotesken Berlin-Roman „Familie B.“ er rezensiert hatte – Adrat ist nun von der Kunst in die Wirklichkeit gewechselt und kandidiert für die AfD in der nächsten Wahl in der kaputten Hauptstadt, die er so furios beschrieben hat – er will nicht nur beobachten, sondern eingreifen. Nachtrag zum Freund Franz Josef Wagner, die Kunst der knappen Sätze und Melancholie beim Thema Altern. In der Hauptsache aber wieder Literatur: eine Feier der Romane von Charles Dickens, des „Unvergleichlichen“, den sowohl Dostojewski wie Tolstoi verehrten – und Chesterton, der seine Figuren in einem „ewigen Sommer“ sah. Die Suche nach Oliver Twist im London von heute. Alles begleitet von der pockennarbigen Malocher-Rock-Röhre Eric Burdon, dessen Kindheit mit Prügeln und Atemnot im verpesteten Newcastle von Dickens hätte erfunden sein können. Die Besserungsanstalt „House of the Rising Sun“ und das Geschäft mit verstoßenen Kindern in unserem kalten Sozialstaat. Eric Burden wusste früh, was auch heute, gerade heute viele erkennen: „We Gotta Get Out of This Place.“

There should be no contradiction in pursuing hard sciences, humanities, and moral virtue all in one day. For upper schoolers switching classrooms every hour, or for teachers siloed in a single subject, it can be easy to mistake “education” for a series of distinct academic categories. In this rebroadcast from 2015, Upper School Head Michael Moynihan gives us a better framework. He urges us to look at how our school's different departments present a unified and infinitively connective worldview—one that invites inquisitive engagement and exercises the full scope of human reason.

What can the Apostle Paul's words in Philippians 3:1 teach us about parenting, repetition, and joy? In this episode of the Key Ministry Podcast, Dr. Chris Hulshof shares a powerful reflection on how repetition—so often seen as tedious or tiresome—can actually be a gift from God. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and wisdom from G.K. Chesterton, Dr. Hulshof helps us see how repetition in our lives, especially as parents of children impacted by disability, mirrors the steadfast heart of God.Visit KeyMinistry.org/Podcast for show notes.

There is no magic formula to making the perfect decision every time, but there are philosophical principles, or "razors," you can use to pare down your options and see your problem more clearly. These razors can cut through the clutter of complexity and help us see the forest for the trees. And while they weren't designed with parents in mind, they can come in pretty handy! Starting with the most famous, Occam's Razor, we discuss how paring away unlikely hypotheticals leads to the most accurate solutions. Next, we delve into Hanlon's Razor, which reminds us to avoid attributing malicious intent when there's a simpler explanation. This principle can help us avoid unnecessary conflict and foster understanding, especially in relationships. Then we discuss Hitchens' Razor, which places the burden of proof on the person making the claim. This can be a valuable tool for evaluating arguments and avoiding baseless assertions. We also explore Chesterton's Fence, which encourages us to be cautious about changing things without understanding their original purpose. But that's not all. Listen to the episode to hear the rest, and let us know your own rules for clearer thinking!

St. Isaac speaks with the voice of one who has tasted what he teaches. His words carry both severity and sweetness, and at their heart lies a single call: to love God with such singleness that all else is left behind, and to find rest in Him alone. He begins by speaking of reading. For the one who prays, reading is no small companion. Instead of being filled with scattered memories and impressions of the world, the soul, when nourished by Scripture, finds within itself a treasury for prayer. The words of God become recollections that rise up during stillness, offering the mind holy material with which to converse with God. Sometimes these recollections themselves are so sweet, so overwhelming, that they silence the heart entirely and leave the soul motionless before God. Reading thus becomes a doorway into the mysteries of prayer—not as an exercise of intellect alone, but as communion, as a sacrament of remembrance that enlightens the heart. But to enter such prayer, St. Isaac reminds us, requires renunciation. A heart weighted with possessions or concerns is like wet wood that cannot be set aflame. Divine fervor does not ignite in a soul that loves ease. The words are stark, even offensive, but they uncover the truth: we cannot serve two masters. Only the one purified of worldly entanglements will be able to bear witness to the sweetness of God's mysteries, for true knowledge is born only of experience, not of hearsay. Yet this renunciation is not negation alone. It must take flesh in mercy. St. Isaac turns us to almsgiving, the act that draws the heart most near to God. To give freely, without discrimination between worthy and unworthy, without expectation of return, is to love as God Himself loves. Poverty chosen for Christ becomes a higher wealth, freeing the mind for serenity and boldness in prayer. Still, even here he warns us of subtle temptations: one may come to love possessions “for the sake of almsgiving,” and thus re-enter turmoil. Almsgiving is holy, but stillness is higher, for in stillness the soul communes with God directly, free of all care. This is St. Isaac's vision—severe, yes, but radiant: to become all flame with the love of God, to renounce all so that one might rest in Him, and in that rest, to discover the joy of unceasing prayer and the inexhaustible fountain of His mercy. Here, and here alone, the soul finds the rest of love. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:10:46 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 149, last sentence on page 00:22:51 Diana Cleveland: I have found that is to be really true.

Following the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School during Mass, guest-host Brooke Taylor welcomes Fr. Nathan Cromly to offer pastoral guidance. Fr, Nathan also reflects on the enduring witness of Saint Monica, a beacon of hope for parents whose children have wandered from the Faith. They also unpack the “trending” engagement of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, exploring how Catholics can respond to cultural moments like this with grace and evangelize the beauty of sacramental matrimony. Brooke is joined by Dr. Ryan Topping, a former Mennonite who embraced the Catholic Faith at Oxford. Now one of Canada’s leading philosopher-theologians, Dr. Topping draws from the legacy of Cardinal Newman and G.K. Chesterton in his mission to renew Catholic culture. He is the Founder and Executive Director of the Gregory the Great Institute and a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal.
