Document Summary
Chapter 3 let the cross of christ be emptied of its power. The relationship of man"s freedom to god"s law; it is ultimately the question of the relationship between freedom and truth. We not infrequently witness the fearful plunging of the human person into situations of gradual self destruction. Concrete situations are unfavorably contrasted with the precepts of the moral law. The church seeks, with great love, to help all the faithful to form a moral conscience which will make judgments and leads to decisions in accordance with the truth. Rational reflection and daily experience demonstrate the weakness which marks man"s freedom. Reason and experience not only confirm the weakness of human freedom they also confirm its tragic aspects. Worship of god and a relationship with truth are revealed in jesus christ as the deepest foundation of freedom. In the house of the lord, slavery is free.
