We hear a lot about the Good News today, but we do not hear much about the bad news. However, as Peter Kreeft has stated, without the bad news, the good news is meaningless. Sin is not spoken of frequently enough, glossed over, and sometimes outright ignored. We all know that the secular world champions vice and acts as if it is virtue, and while this complete reversal might not affect you totally, it likely has lessened the degree to which you despise sin in your life. Today we go into sin, what it is, what it is not, and two devastating ways that men often deal with sin in their lives. As we look to Christ on the Cross, it is necessary to understand how our sin has put him there and the mercy that is available to us. 🔴 🔴 Watch the extended addition, all 1h 30 mins of episode 152 on Catholic Gentleman Plus where we discuss the way out of sin in your life: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com ✅ We love to answer questions on the show.

Today, we discuss how men either become weak or foolishly arrogant in response to the shame they experience.
