Auspice Maria with Bishop James Ruggieri

In this episode, Bishop Ruggieri addresses the perennial question: Why is there sin? Drawing on Catechism paragraphs 385–412, he explains the goodness of creation, the misuse of human freedom, the reality of temptation, and the wound of concupiscence that affects every person. Yet despite our wounded state, there is hope. Listen to hear why God's grace and mercy will always prevail.
