Godsplaining
On this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Joseph-Anthony and Fr. Patrick lead us into understanding suffering and evil, the benevolence of God, free will, harmony, and goodness. Does God cause the evil to test us or to eventually bring about the good? Are good and evil two forces against each other? What are the saints' view on the topic? Jesus, I Trust in You! Join the friars in Providence, Rhode Island for the annual All Comer's retreat!
