These Catholic Works Can Become Psychologically Damaging | WMF25
What happens when our desire to become holy starts working against the very freedom we're seeking? In this conversation, Bill, Christopher and Mike explore how certain spiritual practices, especially around self-denial, humility, and the desire to be loved, can be misunderstood in ways that lead to fear, defensiveness, or even neurosis rather than genuine freedom. But the conversation goes far beyond that. They talk about childhood wounds, relationships, vulnerability, the human desire to be loved, prayer, suffering, and learning to recognize God's presence in everyday life. At the heart of it is a challenging question: Are some of the things we think are helping us become holy actually keeping us from receiving love?
