Line 23:
* [[Attending Your Own Funeral]]: In "The Resurrection of Father Brown"
* [[Atonement Detective]]: Father Brown meets and bests a thief named Flambeau, who (to atone for his crimes?) becomes a detective himself.
* [[Badass Boast]]: In a quiet sort of way. Father Brown confronts Flambeau for a second time in the story "The Queer Feet". Flambeau, who doesn't yet recognize the father, and is larger and far stronger, claims not to want to threaten him:
{{quote|"I do want to threaten you," said Father Brown, in a voice like a rolling drum, "I want to threaten you with the worm that dieth not, and the fire that is not quenched.... I am a priest, Monsieur Flambeau ... and I am ready to hear your confession."}}
* [[Belief Makes You Stupid]]: Subverted with extreme prejudice.
** The aversion of this trope is lampshaded in Father Brown's very first story,
{{quote| "...But, as a matter of fact, another part of my trade, too, made me sure you weren't a priest."<br />
"What?" asked the thief, almost gaping.<br />
