How are we as Christians to treat one another when it comes to things that non-essential in the Church? Are we to condemn or despise one another? Or are we to recognize that there can be things that differ on and how are we to know the difference? Father Jeremiah goes through a part of Romans 14 where St. Paul addresses these issues reminding us that Christ died and rose and is thus Lord of both the dead and the living.
