I agree with Pollster1. Sadness and complaining are different things. Sadness and depression are different things. A person can be sad because a loved one has died, while firmly believing that person is in God’s loving hands, just as one can be sad a friend has moved away, even though the friend has found a fine job in a lovely state and married a nice man. We are sad because of the loss to ourselves, temporary though it may be.

By nature, we are bound in time and space in a way God is not. There is no contradiction between sadness and faith.

Do you believe Fr. Corapi is saying this; that sadness and faith contradict themselves?
