    Freedom from bondage or oppression.
  • Original Sin
    :

    The power, rooted in the intellect and will, to act or not to act, to do this or that, and so to perform deliberate actions on one’s own responsibility. True freedom is the ability to do what one ought to do, that which is truly good and directed toward God, our happiness and fulfillment.

    The moral virtue that keeps us from being concerned with personal greatness, but to recognize our total dependence on God.
  • Salvation
