What did Chesterton see in the Catholic Faith that made him compare the Church to steaks, wine, and cigars? Simply put, he saw something to be savored. He saw Truth as a juicy, thick, perfectly cooked steak – something you could really sink your teeth into. He saw Beauty as a fine glass of French burgundy – something delicate, robust, and timeless. He saw Goodness as the smoky taste of toasted tobacco – something satisfying, mystifying, and captivating. Chesterton reaches for the height of savory indulgences, combining them, mixing them, placing them in our minds to elevate our understanding of the Faith: something worth cherishing, enjoying, sharing, and especially, savoring. #catholictalkshow #podcast #catholicsonline #catholicspeakers #catholicconvert #catholiccommunity
