The Journey to God

By Fr. Antoninus Wall, OP.

The Freedom to Love: Recovery and the Seven Deadly Sins

By Fr. Emmerich Vogt, OP

This new book by Fr. Emmerich Vogt, OP explores the need for virtue in the life of the Christian. It examines not only the seven deadly sins, but since virtue is the mean between extremes, it also studies the opposite extremes. For example, chastity is a virtue that corrects the sin of lust, but to be chaste doesn't mean a person lacks warm affection. Those who overcome lust but are as cold as ice are disturbed by the opposing extreme, prudishness. The book takes a look at the capital sins, their opposing virtues and opposite extremes, all in the context of recovery.
