It’s so cool to see how the budget for this channel has grown so much, the new cgi at 2:33 makes “Baby Trent” look way more realistic! You would almost think it’s a real toddler!
Anna, I'm starting to think you must be stalking me via my TH-cam subscriptions somehow; but most likely I just need to compliment your excellent taste in YT channels. 😁
I once had a friend tell me that reading Chesterton "is like playing a pinball machine; he bounces you around from metaphor to metaphor, unfolding his idea, and then lands on something quite stirring and profound." I could not have agreed more. Certainly my favorite author.
Execellent desxription! Yoir friend shows to be a high quality person. He is one of my favourites too. I disagree with his ideas on very few topics, but I consider him a real helper in Faith that God provided for intellectual people.
'Like the fire, the woman is expected to illuminate and ventilate, not by the most startling revelations or the wildest winds of thought, but better than a man can do it after breaking stones or lecturing'. - Also Chesterton. We love your videos, Horn family ❤️
I'm so glad I listened to the Pints with Aquinas 401k debate yesterday. Jacob Imam had me totally sold until Trent started talking and then the "give your children inheritance not debt" is what I'm standing for now 😅
I really struggle to read deeply philosophical texts 😅. Like when I read confessions of St. Augustine, I could stay focused while reading his testimony, but once the philosophy part started my mind just began to drift. Same with some of the Screwtape letters. I guess what keeps my attention best are stories.
Doesn't it feel great when you read the opening of Summa Theologica, and it says "This is for beginners," and you're like "okay great! I got this!" And by the next page you've already decided you are not worthy to be called a beginner.
In case anyone thinks Chesterton is actually an anti-Semite, let me make three points: 1. Chesterton had multiple life-long Jewish friends. For example, he dedicated his book "The Innocence of Father Brown" to Waldo d’Avigdor and his wife Mildred. Waldo was a Jew. 2. Rabbi Stephen Wise, the President of the American Jewish Congress, had this to say about him in 1937 shortly after Chesterton's death: “Indeed, I was a warm admirer of Gilbert Chesterton. Apart from his delightful art and his genius in many directions, he was, as you know, a great religionist . . . I deeply respected him. When Hitlerism came, he was one of the first to speak out with all the directness and frankness of a great and unabashed spirit. Blessing to his memory!” 3. Chesterton criticized every nationality and people. He also praised every nationality and people. And he did both with a sense of humor. A lot of the quotes that people cherry pick out of context are meant to be tongue-in-cheek.
Being against something doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to be hateful or uncharitable. I would hope that as Christians we are anti-whatever religion that doesn’t recognize that Jesus is the son of God.
You have a very strange vision for your TH-cam channel that oddly works…if I didn’t see your videos I would have never known how much I actually needed this stuff. It’s like my daily Parks & Rec fix that is somehow strangely Christian but not too Christian that it is embarrassing. You’re a funny person.
I love Chesterton and I understand what he's saying... most of the time XD I think I like his bestie Hilaire Belloc more, because he's just easier to read for me personally, though they both were great catholic authors and their works are amazing
It’s pretty amazing just how much you can actually do on less than one acre. Right now I have more grapes, pears, eggs cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes than I know what to do with and in about a month I’ll be flooded with apples and potatoes. It’s honestly pretty amazing how little effort goes into it all, the worst part is figuring out what to do with all of it so that it doesn’t go to waste.
For anyone wanting to read Chesterton without the obscure references and unfamiliar British words, there is now a way. There is now an "American translation" of Chesterton's famous and beloved book "Orthodoxy". This "translation" leaves intact as much of the original text as possible, while omitting, summarizing, or rewording all that would make a modern day American's eyes glaze over.
@@josephpadula2283 If you're very well read, that makes sense. But for those who aren't, one advantage that non-English speakers have is that their translations already do this.
I actually laughed out loud. I love the intellectual heights that some people attain but I think right now I'm content just watching people on TH-cam talk about other smart people. My library is full of books lookin much smarter than me.
It's not a bio. It is an extended blog essay, written for people who have read a lot about St. Francis already. And it also ties into his book about Jesus, and his book about St. Thomas Aquinas. But it is all comments. Basically, if I stopped at your house and told you cool things I had noticed, I would be writing you a Chesterton essay.
Hey cutie! Please don't poke your adorable fun at Knights of Columbus. We need you to encourage us. God bless you and your family. Trent I love you too brother! Thanks for helping to bring me back home!
Serious question At 2:35 was John Paul acting in the scene or was that "NO" a genuine answer? Cause it sounded like he said it from the bottom of his heart
Can confirm, pipes are still a thing as are cigars. The guys in my friend group like to meet up on the porch and smoke and debate life topics (and obscure nerd stuff) whole the gals stay in on the couch talking gal things (life, pregnancy/babies, and ragging on modern women 😋).
: “Madam, if I were to treat you for two minutes like a comrade, you would turn me out of the house.” Chesterton is my comrade. Sorry you can’t join us. :)
This episode perfectly sums up my experience reading Chesterton. I enjoy many of his quotes and I resonate with his poets heart, but he writing to his time and extra effort needed to comprehend the context turns an otherwise light read into a slog.
Re: Chesterton, he really isn't that hard. But it helps to have a lot of Victorian writing under your belt, or to be fresh off a C. S. Lewis binge. Reading him aloud does require some practice, or marking your phrases for where to take a breath. He obviously was the kind of guy who just talked like that, but it is a bit hard on an audience when I am an American chick....

Laura's face when she read the Chesterton daily quote killed me 😂
i completely saw this coming lol
@@skippysmom Lmao I knew what was coming as soon as she said that, pure gold
Ha ha! Because it’s completely false, right?
@@ZaklogtheGreat Unfortunately, Chesterton was quite antisemitic. It's one of the reasons why he's not been put into the process of canonization.
@@youtubecommenter2 So, let’s grant for the sake of the argument that he said things that were “antisemitic.” Were they *false*?
“Can I borrow a chicken?” 🐓😂

As for me and my house, we shall remain Tolkien Catholics, lol
LOL
Tolkien is a Chesterton Catholic.
As a Chesterton Academy student I can tell you we are all massive tolkien nerds
@@CarapaceClavicle no.
He is though. Tolkien and Lewis both loved Chesterton@@TrveLatinCel

@@kari8899 I agree, both on account of Chesterton and on account of my friend.
Now we need Catholic trad wife blogger or getting into end times prophesies. 😅
"It still smells like single man". As a single man who just picked up his first pipe, this is alarming.
Chesterton made me Catholic. Being confirmed this Easter. He is not for everyone 🥲 but he should be!!
Me too brother! Who is your confirmation saint? Mine is Leo the Great
I think this is just poking a bit of fun. Something Gilbert never minded nor refrained from.
I just got back and asked the wife if she wanted to become Catholic. Apparently, we both had already been thinking about it. 😆
Welcome home!
👍🏼
Fun Fact: Henbit (the purple flowering weed in her garden) is, in fact, edible!
I was thinking about that too when I saw it. Also good food for chikens.
Subsidiaritree, the best Catholic pun I've seen in ages! So many levels, so many branches
It has Latin roots.
Heehee 😊
'Like the fire, the woman is expected to illuminate and ventilate, not by the most startling revelations or the wildest winds of thought, but better than a man can do it after breaking stones or lecturing'. - Also Chesterton. We love your videos, Horn family ❤️
The fear from when a guy says "Don't move" while we're in the woods is real! 😂
"check out your bed" John Paul is used to his mom's shenanigans. He doesn't even flinch at that.
The cleanness of these jokes are so top notched and very intelligent, very Catholic and I love that. God bless the Horns.
I got to meet your husband yesterday. Y'all are great. Love your channel!!
Oh, gosh! Loved this whole thing. Watched it twice just to hear “You’re dead to me!”
"It still smells like single man" *cough* 🤣🤣🤣 Yes, yes it does lol

Agreed! I really wish I could read more philosophical books but I just can’t understand and my mind wanders!
Surprisingly I have the opposite experience, confessions was a slog for me

@@daltondavidson7997that’s so relatable 😂😢
As appropriate, more a mockery of Chesterton fanatics and distributists than Chesterton himself. Chesteron is still awesome. Nicely done, as always.
Yes, It's assume this is largely a criticism of people who either don't actually understand Chesterton, or are insane fundamentalists
Who are these fanatics you speak of?
@@jamie7880 probably my dad lol
Pipes are so cool though! I think I'm a Chesterton Catholic that plays videogames, smokes pipes and drinks beer.

But I like that he smokes a pipe! I think I'll smoke a pipe! Or at least put one somewhere on my desk...
The thumbnail got me... a Horn with two pipes
... or is it two pipes and a Horn? I'm just a simple man, so confused
I swear, you are the funniest person! I laugh out loud at least once, every single video. I’m glad I have only just discovered you, I can binge 🎉
Laura and Trent I’ll pray for your lawn 😂
How do you not have a million followers? You are a genius!
I listened to "What's Wrong with the World" while painting my pantry. Believe me, it helped. 😂

We want blooper reels. I fully expect them to be 3x longer than the actual video.
Every time you post a video you make my day 😂😂😂❤
I could use Trent Horn videos with a Laura Horn video length and Laura Horn videos with a typical Trent Horn video length. Fans of them both!
Lol, first time ever I felt glad I read Chesterton translated to Brazilian Portuguese. It's all so quite simple there, at least to me.
401? Hilarious. I'm a Chesterton Catholic and I approve this video.
THIS IS ME GOING FROM AGNOSTICISM TO CATHOLICISM 🤣🤣🤣 LITERALLY
3 acres and a cow! It's not your fault you read him after you already bought a house 🤣
It’s pretty amazing just how much you can actually do on less than one acre.

I bought one of Chesterton's CDs to listen in the car. I've tried so hard to understand him...someday maybe.
Love your stuff! Keep it coming.
Well now this is just too far!
We are Rerum Novarum Catholics over here to cope with never being able to afford a home 🥲
You're dead to me! 🤣🤣🤣
Definitely a quote to live by.

It was a bad joke- there is a famous WWII movie called “A bridge too far” about a unit that has to capture a bridge and hold it….
I always look forward to your videos!
Mahhhhhaaaa I love you !!! You are so real , I’m laughing cuz I so relate to this video 🤪🤪🤪

😂 this might be my fave video so far
The thumbnail with the pipes says it ALL 😂😂😂
“Kids!!! Time for dinner!!”
“What’s for dinner, mom?”
“Henbit deadnettle salad ☺️ Fresh from the garden!”
So, uh... when do I get my chicken back?
Ok but that's actually good salad.
"Can I borrow a chicken?" 😅
GKC would love this.
once you break through with Chesterton you'll never go back
“It still smells like single man” 😂
love Chesterton and love your video!
lmfaooo i feel personally attacked hahahaha
John Paul is hilarious
I feel ya Laura, i tried reading Chestertons bio of Saint Francis haha.
Oh yes!! And I’d read great reviews. I’m going to try it again, maybe 3rd time’s the charm?!?!
It's not a bio. It is an extended blog essay, written for people who have read a lot about St. Francis already.

@@marybeth1747keep trying. It’s a beautiful book.
This was literally me reading the required books for my history classes in college. 🤣🤣
Literally laughed out lout at "subsidiari-tree"
good one, you're hilarious 😂 thanks for the video haha
triggered Luther fan vs Average Chesterton enjoyer...

"401 gay amirite"
Indeed, milady, indeed.
More whistles in this video that in the song 'whistle while you work' 😂
Why yes, I am binge watching all of your videos on my day off and no it isn't creepy and I will keep commenting stupid remarks that I find witty.
Serious question
At 2:35 was John Paul acting in the scene or was that "NO" a genuine answer?
Cause it sounded like he said it from the bottom of his heart
It is totally his favorite word, and it's so cute we don't even care. Super genuine!
Laura you bust my guts till I wheeze. Keep at em
Do people actually still smoke pipes? If you buy a pipe, does it come with a sweater with patches on the elbows, and a rocking chair?
Can confirm, pipes are still a thing as are cigars.

Best quote.
: “Madam, if I were to treat you for two minutes like a comrade, you would turn me out of the house.”

Chesterton rules. And as the old saying goes "the fandom ruins the property."
Except for Paper Mario. The developers ruined it all on their own.
I’ll just stick with Father Brown. 😂
...and Father Ted.
...and I'm gonna choose Father Mike. :D
Don't forget The Man Who Was Thursday.
Need more
"You're dead to me!" 😂
As a convinced Prot, Chesterton is one of my favourite authors.
As a what?
"It still smells like single man" bahahahah!
The laughed harder than I expected at the 401(k) comment - guess it feels like an inside joke given Trent’s debate on the subject
*I laughed
Oof that’s embarrassing
1:57 as both a pipe smoker and single man, this cut deep
".... Well back to our roots" literally,
I have that exact same copy of the same book. Chestertonian Lutheran here.
More Chestertonian Lutherans, is what we need in the Catholic Church 😉
The target audience for this video is not substantial. 😂
I suggest some Boy Scouts to teach the shelter building 😂
Oh wow. It's me.
I so dumb I don’t even get your humor making fun of not understanding Chesterton!
The cutoff 💀
I’m going to be attacked
"YOU'RE DEAD TO ME!!"" Hahaha. Best part! That and the Chesterton quote regarding Jews.... 😬
2:11 So true!
"still smells like single man" - best quote!
