G. K Chesterton was many things.  He was a Catholic first and foremost.  He was a scholar and writer, a common sense thinker, and in many ways a teacher for all men.  He believed that all men were created as equals even if, through the process of evolution, they did not remain equal to each other.  He had a tremendous love of and interest in everything.   He was able to lead people to the faith he loved, by making it understandable, and worthy of their consideration.  Chesterton believed in tradition, and embraced what is old, and what has stood the test of time.  He believed in the family unit as being the most necessary and important focus of our lives.  Often, he was quoted as saying the people are too focused on what is outside of the home, and that their careers, political ambitions and entertainment were not as important as saving the souls of their children.  Lastly, one of his most famous quotes speaks volumes about the man, “It isn’t that they can’t see the solution.  It is that they can’t see the problem.”  His humor was one of his most effective tools in leading people to a better life, and if possible, directly to his beloved Catholic Church.
