- Chesterton created the fictional priest-detective Father Brown and wrote on apologetics, such as his works Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man.
- Chesterton routinely referred to himself as an orthodox Christian and came to identify this position more and more with Catholicism, eventually converting from Anglicanism.
Why it is Rare

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 85 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
