Cleansing Fire

Defending Truth and Tradition in the Roman Catholic Church

Pharisee! (Fr. Rick Poblocki style)

May 14th, 2011, Promulgated by b a

What’s the best way to spend a commute home?  By calling Calling all Catholics on The Station of the Cross (1460AM and home of iCatholicRadio). I asked Fr. Rick about being a pharisee and then I threw in a bonus question as well. If you call the radio and would be interested in having it posted – shoot me an email and let me know.

Speaking of The Station, if you’re not getting their monthly newsletters, be sure to sign up.

A couple more thoughts on the charge of being pharisaical or uncharitable…

Perhaps I’ll make this the go-to page when people charge us of being pharisees. If you have any other links or comments in this regard – post them in the comments. Thanks!

    Great bonus question, Ben. One I’ve always wanted to ask, too. Fr. Z says all the time “don’t confess tendencies or struggles, just confess number and kind.” I’m still trying to come up with a really good examination of conscience for confession (the Commandments help as a starting point, but I think I need a more detailed inventory).
