If you want to know the meaning of suffering study Buddhism. The four noble truths contain wisdom this guy can't even imagine.

@ohsnap31 - Please correct me if I'm wrong but the impression I have always had of the Buddhist philosophy is that suffering is something to escape from which is in direct contrast to the belief that we all gotta suffer and take up our cross daily....I think that the real problem here though is that for many what Fr. Stan is rapin' about will come across as making out that suffering is something good in itself, which it is definitely not...It is however real and can be transformative.

@BigBearPaul Thankyou...you are absolutely right! and dont forget that scripture itself says that The church - not scripture alone - is "the pillar and foundation of truth" ..meaning the teaching authority as well as Tradition that has been handed down for 2000 years.

Of course you think that Buddhism or any other religion that is not your own is screwed up. In a nutshell, research shows how strong the tendency is to excessively critique new information that is inconsistent with preferences and to let preference consistent info slide by easy. I can't imagine that this bias is more pronounced anywhere than with religious beliefs. You have been brainwashed by your beliefs.

Suffering, hmmmmm....for the catholic,when we suffer, even if it is regular physical suffering and not necessarily suffering of or from persecution for the sake of the gospel, is an opportunity to come along side Christ and share, if only slightly,

in His suffering. We then are invited to offer it up, as a free will gift of trust to the savior for Him to take it and do what he pleases with it. We are invited to ask Him to use our humble acceptance of this suffering as a way to become closer to

Suffering for Christ, unlikes Buddhism, guarantees us an eternity in paradise with God, not just a life of happiness here. Catholocism is much more positive because it deals with what is to come, not some blink of an eye period of time on this earth. That said, Fr. Stan seems to be really dumbing it down. Maybe the audience for this needs it. Just sayin...........
