Highway to Hell

Found this on my bus seat.

I thought maybe someone had lost a photo of their grandfather (although an odd kind of grandfather. Is the little girl giving him money? "Here you go, gramps. Buy yourself something nice.") So I turned it over in the hope of finding a name or address for the owner, but instead found this on the reverse.

Is it an appeal to fellow bus-using Catholics to support the beatification of GK Chesterton? A really long-winded attempt to convert commuters? A prayer card left on the seat by accident?

If you visit the first website, it has a direct link to prayer cards to "ask him [GK Chesterton] for a miracle" because "the Church would like some proof that GKC is a saint". It does not give any clue as to what these miracles might be though...

The fact that it was left on a bus would seem to indicate a desire to reach the un-Catholic masses (no pun intended) who in this area at least, probably don't need Catholicism to be anti-abortion because most of the major religions round here are never ever ever going to be pro-choice (whether Islam or Hinduism).

The second website link leads to an organisation who have apparently saved "100's of Babies" but have never worked out how to use apostrophes or capital letters. Presumably GK Chesterton would have had something to say about that. Incidentally the website also has a lot to say about the apparent evils of homosexuality and condoms in general. In fact the letter which rants on about this actually makes me quite sick. Apparently an AIDS worker must "SUFFER the AIDS-related deaths [through using infected needles] that addicts inflict upon themselves instead of FORMALLY COOPERATING in the moral evil of degrading the addict further by helping him to solve his problems in practising the addictive behaviour" [sic]

I'm sorry, but I'd take hell any day if it meant not having to spend eternity with GKC and these venom-filled loonies.
