The Famous Catholic Sales Letter
Did You Ever Wish You Could Always be Right?
GK Chesterton once wondered why so many people deny the existence of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, and in the same breath claim they have the ‘right’ to do something. He wrote about it over fifty years ago, but you hear the same charade today. And no matter how many free-thinkers are spewing their drooping philosophy, the general populace still accepts that there is a ‘right’ and a ‘wrong’ to everything. Their argument is over what is right and what is wrong.
