Fr. Gregory Pine reflects—half playfully, half seriously—on the question: “Is it a sin to dominate conversation?” Starting with St. Augustine’s definition of sin and moving through natural law and the human call to communion, he argues that conversation isn’t just “talk,” but a real way we share life with one another.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you talk too much (or how to draw others out without forcing it), this is a thoughtful, funny, and surprisingly practical meditation on what it means to relate well—humanly and Christianly.
