Catholic writers have to make sure that grace and faith do not become detached from the author's dramatic sense. According to O'Connor, most Catholics separate nature and grace as much as possible and reduce their concept of the mysterious to pious cliché viewed only in the obscene or sentimental. She also believes that much religious literature minimizes the dignity of life in the present in favor of that of the next world and that fiction should reinforce mystery by grounding it in reality.
