About this episode
Isaac discusses the difference between true contrition and merely feeling bad about sin in the context of confession.
You go to confession. You say the words. You walk out. And then you do it again.Sound familiar? In this episode, Isaac breaks down the difference between actually being sorry for your sin and just feeling bad about it. Because there is a massive difference and most Catholic men have never been taught what real contrition actually looks like. We go into the Church's teaching on perfect versus imperfect contrition, what the saints had to say about it, and why your confession might be valid but completely empty at the same time. This is not a feel-good episode. This is the episode that makes you sit in your car for a few minutes before you go inside.If you have ever walked out of confession and felt like nothing changed, this one is for you.
