Four Kinds of Respect, One Virtue

In this episode on the virtue of respect- We unpack four different types of respect—because it’s not a one-size-fits-all virtue. We explore:

    •    General Respect for every person

    •    Respect of Position for roles of authority

    •    Respect for God 

    •    Earned Respect through trust and admiration

We reflect on how earned respect is often the easiest to give—because it’s shown to those we admire, trust, and love. But it’s also the type of respect that can hurt us the most when that trust is broken.

We also discuss how respect evolves, especially in our relationships with parents—what it looks like to honor them as adults. Drawing from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we consider our call to respect all those in authority: parents, grandparents, teachers, bosses, and more. Finally, we talk about reverence and how we can grow in our awe and love for God.
