His religious writings, social critiques, and homilies on society received praise from Albert Jay Nock, T. S. Eliot, Richard M. Weaver, and Russell Kirk. Featured on the cover of Time magazine as America's "brilliant maverick," he authored many books and articles. For the majority of his career, he toured and lectured at universities such as Harvard, Oxford, Yale, Columbia, Chicago, and Princeton as well as "almost every cathedral in England." He was ordained to the priesthood on the Feast of St. Thomas the Doubter in 1910, and graduated with his second bachelor's in 1912 and was the first vicar and builder of St. Christopher's Church in Oak Park, Illinois from 1910 to 1913. The next year, he wrote an article titled "The Dynamite of the Sacraments" describing some of the practical theology which formed the basis of his decision to join the U.S. Navy during World War I.] Small antiquarian bookstore label with silver printing in cobalt blue for the famed bookstore: "Brentano's, Booksellers & Stationers, New York".
