For many years O'Connor was lauded as one of the great modern Catholic writers, a woman whose fiction overturned Southern notions of race and envisioned a world where the kingdom of God is fully realized. Take, for example, the profile of Catholic author Flannery O'Connor.

Klunder's story, as essay author Carolyn Renée Dupont notes, is "lacking in moral vindication devoid of triumph - a narrative that peters out rather than explodes in a blaze of glorious victory." His story begs the question: Does the God of Jesus Christ want measurable outcomes, or is God asking instead for unflinching faithfulness?
