When God’s Ways Are Confusing

Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies - A podcast by Bishop Robert Barron - Tuesdays

Why does he allow childhood leukemia, or natural catastrophes, or animal suffering? Much of the objection hinges upon the puzzle that is proposed by the existence of God. And we hear a classic answer from within the heart of our tradition today in our second reading from St. Paul to the Romans.
