A Plea for Pastoral Gentleness
In this episode, Fr. Anthony, drawing on the work of St. John Chrysostom and St. Gregory the Great, uses the example of the calling of the publican Matthew to elucidate Christ's pastoral approach of gentleness and makes the case that he reserved beatings with the metaphorical sin-stick/shepherd's staff for protecting the weak against attacks from the Pharisees. Enjoy the show!
