“It goes without saying that a good Catholic novel should be good craft...” — Michael O'Brien Quote

“It goes without saying that a good Catholic novel should be good craftsmanship, good writing skills. The creative person must always be engaged in the long labor of perfecting the tools of his art. Yet the work itself need not be explicitly evangelical in its themes and plots.”

“J.K. Rowling is a talented storyteller, but she has also used the style and technique of modern television and cinema media, which seizes the imagination by pummelling it, bombarding it with powerful stimuli, in a rapid pace, with plenty of emotional rewards.”

“I am just an ordinary Catholic.”

“Well, I am Catholic.”

“I went to parochial grammar school, and I give thanks to the Catholic training because of course, they brought me to the heart of Jesus.”
