Presenting Truth and Accepting Persecution

Описание: Why do we have unfruitful debates with non-Catholics (and some Catholics) on controversial topics? Dr. Gerry explores the difference between a philosophical worldview based on objective truth compared to a postmodern de-constructivist worldview that is common today. In order to have a productive discussion or debate with someone with a different position, especially big topics today such as abortion or trans issues, one must be clear and open about one’s philosophical position. Dr. Gerry advocates being honest about one’s philosophical worldview and speaking from the heart with the qualities that St. James mentions that make up wisdom; these include being peaceable, gentle, compliant, full of mercy, and having good fruits. We need to approach these discussions with humility not just to win an argument. If we’ve done this and we’re still persecuted, we can rely on God’s presence without disgrace. These principles apply all the more within families where family members disagree on important and heated topics.

The Way Retreat for Male Survivors

Dr. Gerry will be in Nebraska co-facilitating a Way Retreat for male survivors of abuse. The retreat will be October 1-3, 2021 at Camp Comeca, Cozad, Nebraska. This is a 3-day retreat crafted around the Stations of the Cross – There are so few resources for Catholic men who are survivors of abuse, I’d encourage any man to come from any part of the country. Although the original retreat was developed for survivors of sexual abuse, we welcome men who experienced physical, emotional, and verbal abuse, as well as neglect. If you know any men who would benefit, please send them this link:
