I have heard this quote below bantered about (but I cannot confirm it was from Chesterton).

“A man wedded to the ideas of his age soon finds himself a widow.”
G.K. Chesterton?

Here is a related quote (not from Chesterton):

“The church that marries the spirit of an age
becomes a widow in the next generation.” - Dean William Inge

I did contact the Chesterton Society and they delivered. This is the quote:*“The Catholic Church is the only thing which saves a man from the degrading slavery of being a child of his age.”
––GK Chesterton (1926)*Full context here.
