This episode continues the interview with Bishop Richard F. Reidy on That’s the Spirit with Fr. John Gatzak. In the first part, Bishop Reidy emphasized the importance of charity and gentleness in inviting people to return to the Church.
In this second part, he speaks about the need for clarity when presenting God’s moral truths. While charity must guide every invitation, the Gospel message itself should never be softened or diluted. Clear teaching helps people find stability and direction in the midst of life’s challenges.
