The role of the Chorus in modern spiritual warfare

Orthodox is defined as conventional or established.

1st line of chapter nine

"...orthodoxy is not only (as is often urged) the only safe guardian of morality or order, but is also the only logical guardian of liberty, innovation and advance. ..."

"...we cannot help it much by insisting on the Immanent God and the Inner Light: for these are at best reasons for contentment; we can help it much by insisting on the transcendent God and the flying and escaping gleam; for that means divine discontent. ..."

"...if we wish to exalt the outcast and the crucified, we shall rather wish to think that a veritable God was crucified, rather than a mere sage or hero. Above all, if we wish to protect the poor we shall be in favour of fixed rules and clear dogmas. The rules of a club are occasionally in favour of the poor member. The drift of a club is always in favour of the rich one."

In Greek theater the chorus represented the knowledge and wisdom of  hindsight and mass consensus...we see Chesterton making a similar argument for the power of democratic resolution of tradition--otherwise how did it become tradition?   Perhaps it was from between the continuations we learn that Chesterton is speaking of his own personal philosophy of the role of Orthodoxy.

From my own perspective, I note that God has set tradition and so far as I know is the only one to successfully challenge orthodoxy to grow into a ever expanding edification of the least among us by means of challenging the establishment.  

Conundrum? Anyone?
