Ladies and gentlemen, he is back! Fr. Dom is back in the saddle. This conversation explores a large variety of topics as we take some questions from some of our listeners. From addiction to mortal sin versus venial sins, we emphasize the importance of being vicious and fighting against addiction, especially in the context of pornography and masturbation. The role of confession and the sacraments in overcoming sin is highlighted, as well as the need for accountability and support. The conversation also touches on the importance of filling one's time with virtuous activities and seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We also discuss the importance of being in a state of grace to receive the Eucharist, the concept of righteous anger, the role of men in fighting against societal issues, the power of the mind, and so much more!

Takeaways

1. Confession is essential for those struggling with addiction, as it provides the grace needed to overcome sin.
2. Mortal sin requires full knowledge and deliberate consent, while venial sin is a less serious violation of God's law.
3. It is important to be vicious and fight against sin, not allowing it to define who we are.
4. Filling one's time with virtuous activities and seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit can help in overcoming addiction and sin. Being in a state of grace is essential to receive the Eucharist
5. Righteous anger can be a positive force when tempered with virtue
6. Men have a crucial role in fighting against societal issues and need to be virtuous
7. The mind is a powerful tool that should be filled with virtuous thoughts
8. Men should seek the sacraments, particularly through spending time in adoration
9. Prudence is a vital virtue to ask for in prayer

Food for Thought

• "You have to be a monster, you have to be vicious, you have to be a dangerous man"
• "If you're not in a state of grace, don't receive the Eucharist."
• "There's nothing wrong with righteous anger."
• "Imagine if all men had righteous anger, there'd be no more abortion, there'd be no more divorce, there'd be no more contraception or human trafficking."
