In reading up on O'Connor a bit more I find that she was a typical Catholic of her day, the type of Catholic Fr. Feeney would have viewed as judaized and a tool. The storyline of The Displaced Person reads like a PC movie of today. There's a reason the Jєωιѕн publishing industry promoted her work.
She was PC on the subject of race and Jєωs for her time. Judged against the standard of race correctness Jєωs are today promoting some of her comments about blacks don't pass muster, which is why Loyola University Maryland recently removed her name from a residence hall, but this hardly suggests she wasn't a servant of Jєωs during her life.
An admirer of Maritain, of course.
Here's something she said I agree with:
“Somebody was telling me yesterday that the reason Jєωs are ahead of Catholics in every intellectual pursuit is very simple: they have more brains. I believe it”
Yes, at least αѕнкenαzι Jєωs. If you saw 100 white men in a room and 99 were gentile and 1 a Jєω, the Jєω would likely be among the top 5 smartest men in that room, and possibly the smartest.
The same would be true if the room had 99 black gentiles and 1 white gentile. The white gentile would probably be among the top 5 smartest people in the room, and possibly the smartest.
If Catholics were sufficiently Catholic on the subject of Jєωs, however, no amount of Jєωιѕн brains could help the Jєωs.
