died 50 years ago today.

Fr. Gerry Murray remembered him as a “great witness against evil and in favor of the truth in the twentieth century” during his funeral homily for Dr. Bernard Nathanson earlier this year.

In his recent book on Chambers, Richard M. Reinsch II writes: “St. Augustine instructed that our love is our weight, best exemplified by the overwhelming remorse he experienced at the death of his beloved mother, Monica. If so, the weight of Chambers’s love was directed towards liberating men from the worship of ideological gods.”

And here is that famous review.
