Podcast Description

In a world quick to speak and slow to listen, three voices from the early Church and medieval period confront the dangers of false teaching, the human love of deception, and the destructive power of sinful speech. Today we explore how heresies divide the Church, why people resist truth even while craving happiness, and why careless words—especially reviling and backbiting—can inflict wounds deeper than any sword.

Today’s Readings:

Tertullian — Prescription Against Heretics, Chapters 4–6

Augustine — The Confessions, Book 10, Chapter 23 (Section 34)

Thomas Aquinas — Summa Theologica, Part 2–2, Questions 72–73
