Talk:Ronald Knox

message: I understand that Fr. Knox had a very strong sense of humor. This is alluded to in the article but mightn't it be a good idea to spell this out some more? --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 18:24, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sense of humor? 

message: Are there any reasons why a citation of any kind to this is not included? I find it a commonly referenced resource in my crime fiction course at school and find his thoughts of these 'commandments' interesting in the least.
If no-one has any objections I may add it.

thread_title:  Ronald Knox's 10 Commandments of Detective Fiction 

message: References to the 1926 radio play refer to the author as Father Knox -- I assume that he was later "promoted" to Monsignor. Can someone find a date for this and add it to the page please? YojimboSan 08:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Clarification needed

message: The link "BibleGateway Knox-Bible" actually leads to "New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition", which is different than Knox's version. This link should be fixed or removed. --Erel Segal (talk) 17:25, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Misleading link 

message: Waugh details Ronald's attraction to High Anglicanism moving eventually to Catholicism - without mentioning G.K. Chesterton. Chesterton may have led Knox to be a writer of detective fiction, but not a Roman Catholic.  Knox helped Chesterton become a catholic, but I see no evidence going the other way. Clive S. Wilson (talk) 20:35, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Not evidence, certainly, but as Dale Ahlquist somewhere said (hardly an objective source, but then neither am I), many of Chesterton's classic Catholic works were written before he was Catholic; to put it into a bit more objective form, Chesterton certainly displays a whole lot of quite Catholic ideas and attitudes in his pre-conversion works. A prominent and undisputable case is the figure of Father Brown; Chesterton was not a Catholic at the time he thought him up, but it was a Catholic priest whom he thought up. I do not, I repeat, have evidence; but I can't deny there's something charming in the idea of Chesterton influencing Rev'd (Msgr-to-be) Knox into becoming a Catholic and afterwards Fr (Msgr-to-be) Knox receiving the said Chesterton into the Catholic Church.--2001:A60:1521:5201:150B:F614:DE7E:808C (talk) 21:47, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  G.K. Chesterton and Knox's conversion 

message: "n 1910, he became a fellow of Trinity College, Oxford. Here, as a devout Anglo-Catholic, he became a key member of Maurice Child's fashionable "set". this must be wrong, if he only converted in 1917? I have deleted "devout Anglo-Catholic". Hellebore (talk) 12:37, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Anglo-Catholic doesn't mean Catholic. It means Anglican but towards the Catholic end of the spectrum. See http://www.stmarymagdalenoxford.org.uk/what-is-anglo-catholicism/. If he converted in 1917, then it is probably true that he was a devout Anglo-Catholic in 1910. Unicorn24515 (talk) 10:28, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
