Excellent essay. I had prayed that Anne Rice being exposed to Truth would release her stubborn attachment to sin and fully embrace Church teaching. I thought that at least getting to hear the Truth it would make inroads into her errors. But I think too many people in the Church were concerned with the “catch” of Anne Rice and ended up massaging her ego and reassuring her that her stance was not of great consequence.
It is sad that she shut her mind to the Grace which would have illuminated her heart.
Well, she made her millions off of “Christ,” so now she can go back to doing whatever it was she was doing before she re-submitted herself to the Catholic Church of her youth. In other words, never underestimate the cunning elasticity of creative people to guage the market, jump in, make whatever money they can with their latest “epiphany,” and then leave that phase of their life as quickly as they entered.
