About this listen
When reputation, rumor, and righteousness collide, faith must hold steady. In Letter 81, Jerome and I exchange words of reconciliation—after long years of tension, we lay down controversy for fellowship. The Church, Augustine reminds us, must seek truth without pride and defend charity above victory.
Augustine, Letter 81 (to Jerome)
Augustine restores the tone of friendship, urging that brothers in Christ trade argument for affection, and that the Church grow stronger not by debate but by communion in truth and peace.
Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Part 1–2, Question 48, Article 1 (Of the Cause of Anger)
I reflect on anger’s beginnings: that it springs from reason’s judgment of injustice. Anger is not born of chaos but of a wounded sense of order—and when governed by reason, it can serve the good rather than destroy it.
