Creative Catholicism - Thinking Out Loud - Episode 13 - Direction

Father James Grant discusses his directive approach to counselling, contrasting it with a more hands-off method. He applies this to religious beliefs, comparing the Catholic understanding of God as a communicating, self-giving Trinity to the more distant, aloof God of Judaism, Islam, and secularism. The Catholic belief in the Trinity, as a statement of God’s closeness and communication, is seen as a radical departure from these other perspectives.
