Paragraph 407 of the Catholic Catechism emphasizes the impact of human's wounded nature due to the first sin and the domination it gave the devil over us. Ignoring or being unaware of this fact can lead to severe errors in education, politics, social action, and morality.
This podcast episode talks about the struggle to fight not only against our broken human nature but also against the fallen human culture as a result of it, and how humanity is not abandoned in this brokenness but rather calls for hope of victory and restoration.
The incarnation embodies the gospel message in educating people about sin, as every person struggles with the oscillations of good and bad moments in their daily lives.

The speaker reflects on the temptation to selectively follow Jesus' teachings and makes the claim that faith is certain and requires entrusting oneself wholly to God and believing what he says.
