The Inner Life

Fr. Allen Hoffa joins Patrick to discuss The Hidden Sin * (2:54) why are sins in the dark have such power over us? * How does isolation make for a vicious cycle? * Ted - I'm an older Catholic. I disagree that everything is hidden...everything is out in the open. There's no shame. People are encouraged to do it. * (14:52) Carl - When I was younger and in the world, I was looking for love in all the wrong places. Thinking a man would make me whole and happy. Ended up getting date raped. I was so lost in my 20's. I can appreciate people who have fallen and the grace the of God. (27:00) Break 1 *  Jill - Is an impure thought ever a mortal sin? * (30:06) Steve - Timmerie had someone on that said men think about sex every 6 to 10 seconds. I've struggled for many years. Age 60 now and I've never held a girls hand or kissed her, but I struggle with masturbation. * Mike – How do you stop after you get addicted?
