In the midst of impending or recent persecution, both Ignatius and Cyprian warned against schism and encouraged the Church to persevere in the face of confusion. Ignatius and Cyprian both treat church unity as a gift from the Holy Spirit to be preserved, and also claim that this unity is dependent on perseverance

(Toole: 42). Here, Ignatius Reilly makes one of his many pleas to Fortuna, the goddess which he believes controls his destiny and his life by spinning him in circles of good and bad luck. The cycles Ignatius Reilly goes through in John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces play an important role in the story, as they affect not only him, but several others in the book as well.

One morning he woke up after a night of excessive drinking and discovered that he now has horns that somehow influence those around him. The film version was released in 2014. If one had to choose a quote to describe the book in general, then “My Best Friend Is a Sociopath!”, which was a title of a television show that Ignatius noticed

Bernard, however, could semi-relate to the writings of another Church Father -- St. Ignatius of Antioch, a devout Catholic, highly devoted to his role as a Church martyr. Much like the excerpt of St. Ephraim the Syrian, Ignatius falls into worshipping God not primarily relating with God's own suffering on the Cross so that he may relate to his nearing fate as a martyr, but instead he views Jesus Christ/the
