Father Mike Schmitz, chaplain for Newman Catholic Campus Ministry at the University of Minnesota Duluth, discusses why — as a Christian — an individual should hate sin.

He goes into detail in a new video.

“You may be familiar with the expression, ‘Hate the sin, not the sinner.’ Fr. Mike would agree, especially when it comes to ourselves. We are quick to point out the sin we observe around us, but not as quick to examine our own souls. Along with this challenge to look inward, in this video Fr. Mike explains why we must hate sin in order to love God,” reads the video’s description.
