In this interpolated episode among those on our slow-walk through Dante's masterpiece, COMEDY, let's discuss the specific sin of anger (or wrath), particularly as it relates to both PURGATORIO (the canticle we're in) and INFERNO (where we've come from).
Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we explore the definitions and inside-the-poem problems of anger.
