Paul Nowak, author of The Way of the Christian Samurai and president of Eternal Revolution, explained that Chesterton's perspective has had a profound influence on him and his work, just as it has on C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkein, Agatha Christie, and Alfred Hitchcock.
"Chesterton is incredibly quotable, and even though much of what he wrote was published 100 years ago, his words are remarkably applicable to today's world," said Nowak. "I have ended up quoting him in every one of my books."
Eternal Revolution is also offering a free downloadable copy of Chesterton's book 'Orthodoxy.'

NCEA: Catholic Schools Celebrate Service
As students begin the new semester in Catholic schools around the country, they are being invited to "Celebrate Service" by volunteering in the community or parish. The theme for Catholic Schools Week 2009 is “Catholic Schools Celebrate Service.” Millions of students are expected to participate in observance of this annual event, begun in 1974.
Catholicism has a long and rich tradition of direct service to those in need, as well as social justice efforts to end social ills like racism and gender inequality. The Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy focus on things that each individual believer can do to help others, like feeding the hungry and instructing the ignorant. The Seven Principles of Catholic Social Teaching focus on solving long-term, systemic problems in society, like homelessness, poverty and violence.

Fr. Neuhaus Compared to John Cardinal Henry Newman
A new article on the Catholic Business Journal (www.catholicbusinessjournal.biz) compares the profound, expansive work and cultural impact of Father Richard John Neuhaus to that of John Cardinal Henry Newman, the renown English convert and founder of the Oxford Movement in England in the 1800s.
“The cultural influence of Fr. Neuhaus echoes that of the great Cardinal Newman founder of the Oxford Movement in England, another Catholic convert who profoundly influenced culture through his writings, eloquence and holy life, “ writes Karen Walker of the Catholic Business Journal. “Fr. Neuhaus has been a Cardinal Newman of our era. His death is a huge loss for our culture, but his prolific writings are a tremendous legacy and resource for those who recognize the critical importance of including religion in the public square.”
“Father Neuhaus was like the teacher,” says Catholic Business Journal columnist Tom Loarie. “He articulated, very forcefully and clearly, issues that are fundamental to Catholics and he made them clear.
“Many of us are in the trenches, so to speak,” continues Mr. Loarie. “We can go through life, observe, and have a gut feel for things. But someone like Father Neuhaus is so clear, so logical, that he is able to put that gut feeling into words. For years his writings gave a logical structure and framework for things that I’ve observed in my own life, making sense of gut feelings and observations. He will be greatly missed my many of us.”
