Social Media and the Catholic Culture of Contempt

Friends, Catholics must stop tearing each other apart online. We should be outraged by those who send virulent comments to one another, preventing actually fruitful evangelical conversation. Calumny, the mean-spirited accusation of another person, is a violation of both charity and justice. Who could possibly blame a non-believer for thinking, “I don’t want any part of that group” if they see how Catholics engage each other on social media? Join me in standing against this.

Courage, Courage, Courage Needed to Endure Passive Purgation

St. John of the Cross explains that we need two kinds of purgation to make it to the higher levels of holiness and ultimately heaven. He calls them active and passive purgation. Active purgation is what we are tryingto do in Lent… take up voluntary penances to overcome ourselves. But,truth be told, we are too weak, too slow and too small of soul in performing such penances… So, God provides the needed cleansing by subjecting us to passive purgation.
