Cultivating "Verbal Virtue" | Scott Hahn w/ Fr. Gregory Pine

Is it okay to lie to protect someone? Is lying always a sin? When and how should I correct someone properly? In this episode of The Road to Emmaus, Scott Hahn is joined by Fr. Gregory Pine—professor of Moral and Dogmatic Theology at the Dominican House of Studies and author of the new book Training the Tongue. To get your copy of Fr. Pine's new book, visit: ➡️ https://stpaulcenter.com/trainingthetongue Together they answer all these kinds of questions and discuss the powerful gift of speech and its role in our relationship with God and others. They explain the importance of cultivating virtue compared to just uprooting vice, the true meaning of “fraternal correction,” and how virtuous speech means more than just telling the truth. Harnessing your words to praise God and build up your neighbor is possible!
