      insufferably British

      Hello David. If good literature counts as anything . . .

      I know a chap who dislikes Chesterton. Calls him "insufferably British." One's strength is another's weakness. (heh-heh)

      Cheers.

              please don't tell Paolo Gulisano that I voted no

              However I am not Catholic, so my opinion really does not count.....great writer, but a Saint? not so sure.

                  miracle

                  Hello Robert. Um, would getting people to read count as a miracle?

                  Cheers.

                      Maybe Lynn, but i was looking for something more earth-shattering...like getting a Scot to buy him a drink.

                          Steadmund, Robert, you're blessed. (Steadmund, you'll be saved, and Robert is already a bienheureux.)

                              That is it. Many thanks my dear Robert. I do consider GK's works as a miracle.

                                          Yes, but is Thomas Aquinas supposed to have worked miracles ?

                                              other worldly

                                              Hello Robert. Thanks.

                                              "I was looking for something more earth-shattering...like getting a Scot to buy him a drink."

                                              Ah, that's not earth-shattering--it's down right other worldly. Of course, it could happen--right after the Scot tips the waiter. (heh-heh)

                                              Cheers.

                                                  Who buys the drinks?

                                                  Hello David. Thanks.

                                                  Well, if you insist. (heh-heh)

                                                  Cheers.

                                                      St. Thomas

                                                      Hello (again) David. Well, St. Thomas was supposed to have been levitated.

                                                      Also, that he lived to age 49 at his weight . . .

                                                      Cheers.
