Fr. Michael Rennier on Fixing Broken Communication

"How does it seem as though two people are talking past each other? Or that two people are firmly convinced that, individually, they're in the right but the other is in the wrong?

"I'm amazed at how frequently I misinterpret the actions of others or ascribe completely erroneous motivations to them. The result is broken communication, a mess of misunderstandings and frustration. It's funny, we can even catch ourselves in the act of misinterpreting someone but, yet, go ahead and do it anyway.

"There’s a way to fix the habits that lead to broken communication, and I'm going to suggest an unlikely starting place. . . ."

In a recent commentary, Father Michael Rennier reflected on how keeping the Eighth Commandment can be a strting place for fixing broken communication.
