G.K. Chesterton and Dogma

A conservative woman I once worked with loved G.K. Chesterton, "the clown prince of Christian thinkers." I admit that I took a dim view of the man based on that recommendation, but most of what I've actually stumbled across that's from him is pretty amusing. To wit:

“Some dogma, we are told, was credible in the twelfth century, but is not credible in the twentieth. You might as well say that a certain philosophy can be believed on Mondays, but cannot be believed on Tuesdays.”
