   Well of course she did. She was always very careful to point out that   
   her religious writings were small-c catholic, small-o orthodox, plain,   
   vanilla Christianity. What is original in "The Mind of the Maker" is   
   the parallels she draws between God the Creator and Man the creator.   
   Come to think of it, doesn't "The Mind of the Maker" have an epigraph   
   from "De Trinitate"?
