Paradoxes of Catholicism explores the profound contradictions that define Catholic belief and the spiritual life. Presented as a series of sermons, the work reflects on how central aspects of Christianity such as joy emerging from suffering, life through death, or strength found in weakness illustrate deeper truths embedded in the Christian faith. The text emphasizes that the divine nature of Christ and His teachings reveal paradoxes not as flaws or errors but as essential expressions of spiritual reality. The early sections establish that Christianity, like life itself, is built on seemingly opposing forces. The peace offered by Christ arises from inner struggle, and the Church s call to humility comes with the promise of glory. Benson s reflections offer not logical resolution, but contemplative insight, urging readers to find meaning in apparent contradictions rather than eliminate them. As the sermons unfold, they draw attention to how personal faith requires accepting the union of opposites: poverty with richness of spirit, suffering with redemption, and obedience with true freedom. This work invites deeper meditation on the nature of belief, asserting that embracing paradox is integral to understanding the divine and navigating the spiritual journey.
