#292 Making Sense Of The Sexual Union; "Truth" Is Absolutely Essential
Episode description
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”
“For freedom Christ has set us free” (Gal 5:1). The fundamental question which the moral theories pose in a particularly forceful way is that of the relationship of man’s freedom to God’s law; it is ultimately the question of the relationship between freedom and truth. According to Christian faith and the Church’s teaching, “only the freedom which submits to the Truth leads the human person to his true good. The good of the person is to be in the Truth and to do the Truth”.[1]
This essential bond between Truth, the Good and Freedom has been largely lost sight of by present-day culture. As a result, helping man recover it represents nowadays one of the specific requirements of the Church’s mission, for the salvation of the world. Pilate’s question: “What is truth” reflects the distressing perplexity of a man who often no longer knows who he is, whence he comes and where he is going. Hence we not infrequently witness the fearful plunging of the human person into situations of gradual self-destruction. According to some, it appears that one no longer need knowledge the enduring absoluteness of any moral value…Indeed something more serious has happened: man is no longer convinced that only in the truth can he find salvation. The saving power of the truth is contested, and freedom alone, uprooted from any objectively, is left to decide by itself what is good and what is evil.[1]
