Today’s episode is the recording of the presentation of the Chesterton Institute’s special publication of a collection of essays on Chesterton by the internationally renowned scholar, Father Ian Boyd, founder of the Institute.

Welcome to a new episode of our podcast “Speaking about Chesterton.”
In today’s episode we will speak about “Chesterton and Science.” It is an unusual subject because we do not often associate Chesterton with science, and because he did not have any formal training or particular expertise on the subject. In his “Autobiography” he wrote: “It is true that I could never be called a scientific character, and even as between the Classic...

In 1929, G.K. Chesterton traveled to Rome to attend the beatification of the English Martyrs, while there he had private audiences with both Mussolini and Pope Pius XI.
From the Hotel Hassler at the top of the Spanish Steps, he had one of the best views of the city. For a man who never was at a loss of words, it seems it was hard for him to describe the Eternal City, however, he wrote and reflected on his time in room in his book ...
