Catholic Short Stories
What is your favorite short story by Flannery O'Connor?
She was a brilliant Catholic writer from Georgia who died entirely too young. Do you have a favorite short story from her collection?
Also, O'Connor claims that she's a strict Catholic using her stories to spread her beliefs in an interesting and unique way. Some people accept this without asking questions. Then there are others who claims she "really is in the devil's party without even knowing it." So... Are you a 'true believer' or an 'apostate'? Or somewhere in between?
Great answers! I -love- "Everything That Rises Must Converge," but I'm going to say my current favorites are "The River" (which has always been my favorite) and "The Turkey," which is just a temporary interest.
Oh, she's one of my favorites. I tend to vacillate between favorite stories of hers, but I'm reading "Everything That Rises Must Converge" for a group I'm leading right now, and it's fantastic.
I have to say I'm somewhere in between. I'm not exactly an O'Connor scholar, and I'd have to think about it some more before I'm able to give a definite answer. I can see both sides, but I'm not going to claim one just yet.

Classic Catholic Converts $14.95 Classic Catholic Converts presents the compelling stories of over 25 well-known converts to Catholicism from the 19th and 20th centuries. It tells of powerful testimonials to God's grace, men and women from all walks of life in Europe and America whose search for the fullness of truth led them to the Catholic Church. It is the witness of brilliant intellectuals, social workers, scientists, authors, film producers, clergy, businessmen, artists and others who, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, studied and prayed their way into the Church. Fr. Charles Connor writes insightful and wonderfully readable stories of a rich variety of converts who struggled greatly with many challenges as they embraced Catholicism, including rejection by loved ones, persecution from strangers, and misunderstanding by peers. But, once they responded to God's call, they experienced great inner peace, contentment and joy. Among the famous converts whose stories are told here include John Henry Newman, Edith Stein, Jacques Maritain, Dorothy Day, G.K. Chesterton, Elizabeth Seton, Karl Stern, Ronald Knox and many more. "A great gift at a moment of history when conversions to the Catholic Church are receiving renewed attention. Marvelously readable stories highlight the vivid diversity of the personalities and the unity of the truth that still brings restless souls into full communion with the Church of Jesus Christ." "Rev. Richard John Neuhaus Editor, First Things "This fine parade of men and women, described with insight by Father Connor, shows how long is the reach of the Holy Spirit and how varied are the personalities He has gathered to Himself." "Rev. George W. Rutler Author , A Crisis of Saints "The touching conversion stories that Fr. Connor so concisely presents convey the joys as well as the struggles that converts continue to experience on their journey into the Catholic Church." "Marcus C. Grodi President, The Coming Home Network "This book reminds 'cradle Catholics' of the pearl of great price that is ours and should motivate many of us to a sharper sense of evangelization as the new Millennium begins. Rich information and valuable insights abound-highly recommended!" "Most Reverend Edwin F. O'Brien Archbishop for the Military Services Fr. Charles Connor , a pastor of a parish in the diocese of Scranton, PA, is an expert in Church history. He is the host of several television series on EWTN including Historic Catholic Converts. |
