S03 Ep. 25 – The Temptation to Be Practical | GOOD FRIDAY

On Good Friday, Fr. Eric reflects on how the figure of Barabbas (Mt 27:15-26; Mk 15:1-15; Lk 23:17-25; Jn 18:39-40) is emblematic of the temptation to compromise with regards to our faith while trying to absolve ourselves by suggesting that we’re simply trying to be practical.

As a key example, Fr. Eric refers to a reflection by Bishop Scott McCaig on the subject of voluntarism, as opposed to a worldview shaped by reason and Divine Revelation. Check out this episode from “The Way of the Heart” podcast with Brett Powell and Jake Khym for the complete reflection: https://www.wayoftheheartpodcast.com/episodes/96.
