    • At what point is it okay to be like Jesus and get out the whip and smash the merchants' tables in the Temple? Or call the Pharisees "brood of vipers" and "white washed tombs"?  :cussing:

    Does anyone have a personal experience they would like to share?

    Perhaps like when people ask specious questions on the internet regarding, for example, the sacraments when they ostensibly have priests and an ordinary to hand where they are?

    • Any sin should make us indignant.  Problem is discerning the difference between true indignation, which is in the higher faculties and motivated by charity, and the passion of anger.  Often these two blur, and even the latter dominates, so that at best we manage a mixture of the two.  So it's not so much about the object of our indignation (i.e. WHAT causes us to be indignant) as it is about what's going on inside of us.

    • St Paul tells us to "Be angry but do not sin".  Ephes 4:26
