Roger Scruton the Great

My hero.  Was nice to chat with him.  He once lived four months in Rome.

He understands beauty like no other living philosopher on the planet earth. 

The late Monsignor R.J. Schuler once turned to me after singing Solemn High Mass in Latin and asked: "How can anyone witness the beauty of the Roman Rite and not see that it is the truth?"

Would be great to hear Roger write on beauty in relation to liturgical rites, for example, as seen at the Brompton Oratory in London.

See his site here and begin to collect, read, and share his books:  http://www.roger-scruton.com/.
