052_ Anger: Fire that can purify or destroy.mp3

from The Catholic Lab · host Richard Oyeleke

In Catholic teaching, anger is a natural passion (emotion) that arises in response to a perceived injustice or wrong, with a desire to correct, resist, or punish that wrong.The Catechism of the Catholic Church treats anger under the passions and the Fifth Commandment:"Anger is a desire for revenge." (CCC 2302)But the Catechism immediately adds an important distinction,Anger is not automatically sinfulAnger in itself is morally neutral. It becomes good or bad depending on how it is used.Listen to us on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2ZRRi5TVeU6b6dekAPg8MW Send us your thoughts with a voice message:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/catholiclabpodcast/messageSupport The Catholic Lab Podcast:https://flutterwave.com/pay/thecatholiclabpodcastThank you for joining us as we navigate this insightful journey of faith and life.
