Chesterton said that a fad and heresy are the same thing. And fashion is always a form of madness.
“A fad or heresy is the exaltation of something which even if true, is secondary or temporary in its nature against those things which are essential and eternal, those things which always prove themselves true in the long run. In short, it is the setting up of the mood against the mind.”
“Every heresy is a truth taught out of proportion.” (Chesterton in the Daily News, June 26, 1909.)
“A heresy is always a half-truth turned into a whole falsehood” (America, November 9, 1935).
Philip Yancey credits Chesterton with helping to revive and define his faith.
