How can we discern charity from indiference? Hinduism and its spiritual states of relaxarion are not from God are not through Christ. Not surprised it poses as cheesy forgiveness when even the Lord got mad at people before forgiving them.

Do you mean to claim that Hindus can’t really forgive?

Ooo, Wasn’t expect that. Do other Catholics feel the same way? Also it is pretty clear the father is mad at someone - the perp, not the people from which the perp comes.How can we discern charity from indiference?

Blessings,
When a white teenager went into a black church in S. Ca, he sat w 8(?) ppl. They were kind to him. He almost wasn’t going to shoot them after all. BUT, he did. One was a Senator. All dead. The NEXT DAY, the Pastor and members came out forgiving and loving murderer.
That is what God calls us to do.
I might need a week?? Thank You Zgodvfor not testing me.
In Christ’s love

I’m not really concerned with the details of this particular story, but just as a general matter, anger is not opposed to love (nor is it identical with hatred). Indeed, sometimes one ought to be angry on account of evil done, and to desire earthly punishment to be visited upon the evildoer.
Anger should of course be moderated by reason, and only directed at the evildoer, not to people who are not responsible for it. However, there’s nothing virtuous about actively spreading nonsense (e.g. “religion is irrelevant” regarding a religiously motivated murder).
Also, forgiveness is not contrary to righteous anger. One can desire the eternal salvation of an evildoer while still wishing a just punishment, even of death, upon him.
