Restless 229 - How To Grow in Virtue

Do you know the Theological and Cardinal Virtues? Aristotle defined virtue as “excellence in being human”, and moreover, the Catholic Faith teaches that growing in virtue, and overcoming vice, is the path to growth in holiness!

 

This week on Restless, Fr. Joseph, Lauren and special guest Fr. Chris Perrella, discuss this very topic. Beyond defining virtue, they reflect on some practical and achievable tips to help your growth in virtue.

 

For example, if you need to grow in chastity (which falls under the virtue of temperance) you can take up fasting, not just from food but also from other goods.   By embracing the virtue in “easier situations” you’re strengthened for more difficult ones.

Restless 228 - A Discussion on the Papacy

Do you feel like the Pope is your spiritual father?

What did Jesus mean by "the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church?

What do we make of anti-popes and bad popes?

and much more!
