The grace of Christ is not in the slightest way a rival of our freedom when this freedom accords with the sense of the true and the good that God has put in the human heart. On the contrary, as Christian experience attests especially in prayer, the more docile we are to the promptings of grace, the more we grow in inner freedom and confidence during trials, such as those we face in the pressures and constraints of the outer world. By the working of grace the Holy Spirit educates us in spiritual freedom in order to make us free collaborators in his work in the Church and in the world.
"I'm just wondering if you always copy and paste your posts or if you have any independent thoughts that are not boilerplate responses?"
When asked to explain the Catholic theology to those who have never bothered to read the Catechism I find it easier to post the Catechism. It is so well written that any attempt to paraphrase or reduce it degrades it.
