Questions

How many Chesterton Societies are there?

Is there a worldwide "society of societies"?

GKC seems to have converted to Catholicism late in life. Is that a fair impression, and, if so, why did it take him so long to pope?

Where is GKC now in the process of canonization? What, if anything, can we do to help with the process?

Are you still producing episodes for the EWTN series, "The Apostle of Common Sense"?

Chesterton wrote around 80 books, several hundred poems, some 200 short stories, 4000 essays, and several plays. Chesterton wrote--published?--15,000,000 words! Will the process of beatification require them all to be collected and read? Unpublished material?
