Its all about free will. Conservatives celebrate the individual and hold each person accountable for their personal behavior and choices. the Left essentially denies the existence of true free will and believes that behavior is a result of the collective construct, which they must design and enforce.
Absolutely. In his ridiculous attack against Vice President Mike Pence, he says he cannot control who he loves. What other emotions can he not control? Is a man not in control of his emotions a suitable leader? What should his significant other think? Will he abandon his mate when the next person takes control over his emotions? Butt is an excellent example of being controlled from without instead of within.
I’ve heard it said that the flesh has it’s own agenda, the spirit temporarily residing in that flesh, if strong enough and pure enough, can and will control the sinful nature of it’s flesh.
I’m a long way from being a Catholic, but Bishop Sheen is an American prophet and among the Righteous of the Nations.
Every conservative should at least be familiar with his diagnosis of the American illness.
An excellent article about an excellent sermon. Thanks!!
Fulton Sheen is correct in that statement.
About ‘behavior’...
Remember a few years back when Ellen was ‘invited’ to the White House with her then ‘girlfriend’ and the two were running around holding hands and acting ‘giddy’?
‘WE’ were critical of it and were immediately accused of being homophobic even though ‘WE’ were adamant in the fact that ‘WE’ would NOT act in that fashion with our wives and would probably get called out for the boorish behavior.
I think this was right around the time that the ‘candid’ shot of billandhillary ‘dancing’ in a secluded hideaway on the beach..
Seem to remember the picture posted, NO ONE NOTICE (or cared) until ‘they’ started claiming invasion of privacy or some such drivel - THEN the pic got maximum showage.
Catholic ping!
