Asceticism: When No Means Yes (#315)
from Considering Catholicism · host Greg Smith
Lent is a time of self-denial, which is a feature (not a bug) of ancient Christianity. It's a form of "asceticism," which Protestants and Evangelicals abandoned. Greg explains what asceticism is, and why sometimes telling ourselves no is a yes to God. Support this ministry so more people can consider Catholicism!
