Sr. Rose was disappointed that this Flannery film does not explore "O'Connor's Catholicism, her ideas about the Catholic sacramental view of life".

The timing of Flannery's premature death, coming just as Vatican II was occurring, & before the legislation of civil rights, left her notions of Catholicism, citizenship, & justice relatively undeveloped.

Those notions don't lend themselves to the program's goal of enticing & educating high-school & college students.
