Review
Is This An Overview?
Kernan has lost grace. Of the physical and spiritual kind. Kernan has a fall, due to being a drunk. Kernan has lost socioeconomic status. Kernan’s friends think that the problems come
from the spiritual. Kernan was a
Protestant, until a conversion to Catholicism, but it was noted that Kernan did
not fully take on Catholicism. Kernan’s
friends think that a retreat, can restore the spiritual balance of Kernan. Does Kernan go on the retreat? What does Kernan think of God’s grace? What behavioral decision does Kernan do to
rectify the situation?
