The Answer To Wrath Is Written On Your Face: PURGATORIO, Canto XV, Lines 94 - 114

Dante the pilgrim has already had one ecstatic vision as he stepped onto the third terrace of Purgatory proper. Now he has two more in quick succession.We're able then to identify the sin or human failing for this terrace: anger (or wrath). And we're able to glean some very human answers Dante proposes to this very human failing.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we work through the second and third ecstatic vision at the start of the terrace of wrath.If you'd like to help underwrite the many fees associated with this podcast, please consider donating once or monthly through this Paypal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:45] My English translation of the medieval Florentine.
