Do more on FlanneryO’Conner. She is one of my favorite writers.
She addresses worldview artistically no holds barred from the Catholic perspective. She was born to do this.
Everytime I read her stories, I see the raw beauty of her work. I will never stop reading her. ♥️
what would be your top recommendations? i've never read her stuff, and only really learned of her since turning to the Catholic faith. While I'm not a huge reader, and have more so just been reading non fiction Catholic stuff these days, i'm curious to check her stuff out, since so many Catholics I respect have raved about her.
@@SuperSaiyanScandinavian Parker's Back, Temple of the Holy Spirit and A Good Man Is Hard to Find. There's a short story anthology with these in them; I'd recommend it.
I went to a wonderful seminar on O'Connor and found that the intellectual prowess of her works runs deep. Thank you for talking about her! She has a lot to offer the world.
I cannot tell you how excited I am that you are doing an episode all about Flannery. I LOVE HER. She has meant so much to me in so many ways, and I am thankful and thrilled to hear this full-length podcast. Thank you thank you for doing this!
Thank you from Sweden.
My absolute favorite story by O'Connor is Parker's back. She wrote it while she was dying. It is so symbolic of humankind and what a sacramental faith and the cross is all about.
Yes! I always assign this to my high school offspring in homeschool. So much there.
This is an amazing story. Just brings me to tears when I read it.
Mine too. It's a cohesive mosaic of Christ in the world 😉
Usually i don't watch clips, but when i read "Flanmery O'Connor", i just had to click!
I read 2 or 3 short stories by O'Connor when I was young back in the late 90s.
When I am trying to explain the Woke culture, I use the title of her short story 'Everything that rises must converge', to finish up what I'm trying to get across. People generally get it. I had two people even write it down.
I'm in UK, and Flannery O'Connor is not known so much here.
After hearing this vid, I must revisit her work. Thanks
Fr Damian! Matt, thanks so much for bringing him on. I fell in love with his writing when he was a regular on Word On Fire’s blog. Can’t wait to dive deeper into his mind through this interview!
Lets all pray 7 Hail Mary for heavenly protection and miracles for the entire Christendom
She is so funny. That's why I love her. She's funny because it's truth she's writing.
She is AMAZING. Yes, she writes about darkness, but darkness is part of the world and something we all experience at times. I’m shocked anyone would find her scandalous.
Why read O'Connor when you can read a newspaper. There's enough filth. Redeem the times.
@@zsedcftglkjh because she shows the work of grace in the story. Newspapers will not do that, they just stay in the filth.
I was assigned "A Good Man..." by an English professor. Decades later I'm still "creeped out." How can you not be intrigued by this woman?
She said something like she had to be shocking to get through to people who were so lost.
top literally saved my life, great band that does an incredible job communicating real meaning in music
even right now with their more pop stuff its all part if the story, he has talked about how the world of trench is him envisioning a world without God and comparing scaled and icy for example to self titled or regional at best its very apparent
Blew my mind when he mentioned Petey.
Thank You Again Matt for a great interview, can't wait to see the whole thing!
Revelation is one of the best short stories ever written.
I LOVE that one... feels a tad autobiographical, especially considering Flannery's dreams of becoming a writer in a place like NY, to come back home and be a "prisoner" due to illness.
There’s also the fact that O’Connor writes pieces that are intense and dark, while receiving approval to be read by Catholics hierarchy/parents haha
Sometimes I feel like a misfit, that that could be because of my autism.
I majored in English in college and read some of her works. I tried again when I became a more committed Catholic. I found the few stories I read disturbing. Not my cup of tea.
I got a burst of joy when Twenty one pilots was mentioned….
I had no idea that Elijah Wood became a priest!
Never heard of her
People love her because SHE COULD WRITE!
Some people believe that Catholicism is a false religion and that its doctrines are ungodly. Some of these doctrines include:
Good works for salvation: Catholics believe that good works are required to earn salvation
No Bible studies: Catholic churches do not have Bible studies
No priests marrying: Catholic priests are not allowed to marry
Food restrictions: Catholics limit what foods they can eat
Plan of salvation: Some say that the Roman Catholic plan of salvation is different from the Gospel of grace in the Bible
Some people are crazy like that.
If I didn't rigourously study Scripture I wouldn't know the Catholic faith was the true & saving faith. The only way I know that it is is through the study of Scripture... with correct exegesis.
@@zsedcftglkjh why is every Catholic with a hell testimony destined for hell until Jesus Christ intervenes?
Their religion.
I started reading A Good Man is Hard to Find, and was taken aback by the use of the n-word…being from Texas, I hear it used so much to degrade a person, like the grandmother did, that it’s hard to move past it? Like is this a favorite word of hers, and hides behind the characters to use it? Again, I’m from Texas, so “product of their time” argument is weak sauce
They call you worse names amongst themselves. Get over it.
Never liked Flannery O'Connor. Too much of a try hard. I find that most men are repulsed by the ugliness of her work, while it appeals to wide swath of women...make of that what you will. And I know people will comment about how "ugliness is reality! That's the point!" Yeah, taking a steaming dump in the streets is reality too...but it's not good, true or beautiful. On the other hand, her essays are great.
I'm repulsed by the ugliness of this comment.
Talk about not fitting in: being a Traditional Catholic in a typical Novus Ordo parish. 😢
It is so bizarre (at least to me, from what I've been used to) to see/hear a 'man of the cloth' talking this way, and/or, about those types of bands, lol. BadASS! But, bizarre.. LmMFaO!
