In Christian history, heresy is often defined by the passage of time. True heresy, though, is a conscious adherence to falsehood. Dante’s portrayal of hell and purgatory reveals the fine line between stubbornness and tenacity. Love requires persistent effort for the sake of others. Today, many marriages fail due to one spouse’s choice: to be right or to be married. Dante’s Franciscan worldview emphasizes virtue ethics. Sin is sin, regardless of attitude. Inspired by Dante, this lecture by Amanda Quantz, Professor of Theology at the University of Saint Mary, focuses on tenacity as a path to joy.
