Born Catholic (Flannery O'Connor)


  What one has as a born Catholic is something given and accepted before it is experienced.  I am only slowly coming to experience things that I have all along accepted.  I suppose the fullest writing comes from what has been accepted and experienced both and that I have just not got that far yet all the time.  Conviction without experience makes for harshness.
