HOW DOES GOD PUNISH EVIL?

The Parable of the Fig Tree
Luke 13:1-9
—–
Homily – 3rd Sunday of Lent – Year C

Was AIDS a punishment for sin? Was 9/11 a punishment of the United States for its sins? Were the victims of the collapse of the Tower of Siloam more sinful because they suffered that catastrophe? Fr. Bill preaches on the issue of God punishing for sin and how the Parable of the Fig tree clarifies the question, bringing in a whole new element to the issue.

Three days after the attacks on 9/11, President George W.

Join Fr. Bill as he discusses and relates the events of 9/11 with that important and overlooked anniversary.
