Well, I completely neglected the anniversary of the death of G.K. Chesterton. It was yesterday. Fortunately, the good folks at Supremacy and Survival didn't forget. It fittingly asks the question, "Will GKC be the next saint canonized?" I like GKC's consideration in this regard, but I guess it brings out the closet puritan in me: the guy drank a lot. I mean, a lot. And it strikes me as a bit incongruous with sainthood. I recall seeing a candid reference to it in Joseph Pearce's Wisdom and Innocence, but I glanced through my copy last night and couldn't find it. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I know the big guy drank a big quantity of wine.
Oh well, I'm sure the Chestertonians have the topic covered. Maybe a few will chime in here.

"Catholic University of America Will Return to Single-Sex Dorms." Link. The university president remarked that, "Non-coed residence halls reduce drinking and 'hooking up.'"

The idea that young people in close proximity and partial clothing lead to promiscuity is in sexual logic what the principle of contradiction is to epistemology.
