And as for a Catholic point of view... I'm not sure you'll find much common ground. Her view of humanity is pretty damned bleak. It's pretty much summed up by the final lines of her most famous character The Misfit, "she [the grandmother] would have been a good woman, if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life."
O'Connor pretty much thinks we all need a someone there to shoot us every minute of our life in order to rescue us from our human condition.
