This just in from the American Chesterton Society's conference

(Using this icon because it's based on a Chesterton quote and, well, appropriate.)
Square brackets are my editorial interpolations:

Here is the exact wording from Dale [Ahlquist]'s announcement at the conference:

"Martin Thompson says that Bishop Peter Doyle 'has given me permission to report that the Bishop of Northampton is sympathetic to our wishes and is seeking a suitable cleric to begin an investigation into the potential for opening a cause [for sainthood] for Chesterton.'"

Saint Gilbert Keith Chesterton.
Well, Ahlquist does call him "the Apostle of Common Sense," so...

Now, who's going to do the same for JRRT?
