Belloc on our Christian heritage

Here's an interesting quote of Belloc's that I found at Eyes of Faith:
"I desire you to remember that we are Europe; we are a great people. The faith is not an accident among us, nor an imposition, nor a garment; it is bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh; it is a philosophy made by and making ourselves. We have adorned, explained, enlarged it; we have given it visible form. This is the service we Europeans have done to God. In return He has made us Christians."
--An Open Letter on the Decay of Faith, 1906
Thank for Fr. Larry for providing this.
