“I can remember when I announced to my own parents that I was going to become Catholic how scandalized and upset they were, and this from two people who had always insisted that, ‘Any way is right if it’s right for you.’ Any way was ‘right,’ as it turned out, as long as it wasn’t the Catholic way. ‘Freedom’ was always freedom from the sort of ‘constraints’ they didn’t favor, never freedom to be something distinct and really counter-culturally ‘different.’”
In a recent commentary, Dr. Randall Smith (associate professor of theology at the University of St. Thomas, Houston) reflected on freedom and Catholicism.
