The idea of "sin" is often controversial in our time, as it might appear to impose an excessive burden of guilt on the would-be Christian. For Robert Barron, though - and for the tradition he represents - having a healthy "sense of sin" is crucial for spiritual growth and development. Here we examine the second chapter of Barron's book, The Strangest Way (2002), focusing on the second path of Christian spirituality he identifies: the path of acknowledging, in a visceral and personal way, that we are sinners.
