RN-4 – Value # 4 – Truth and Freedom – Regnum Novum w/ Omar Gutierrez podcast
from Deacon Omar F. A. Gutierrez - Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts · host Discerning Hearts
From episode ... 4. Truth, Freedom, Justice, and Love part 1 "Truth and Freedom" These are the four values of the Social Teaching of the Catholic Church as they’re enumerated in the Compendium and as they were laid out by, again, Blessed Pope John XXIII in Mater et magistra and Pacem in terris. Without these values, the work of social justice becomes an albatross around our necks. It pulls us down, threatening to poison all the work we do, no matter how well intentioned. When charity lacks truth, as Pope Benedict XVI states, it can be filled with every whim and agenda and becomes the opposite of itself. Truth is the truth of the fundamental dignity of the human person, a dignity we can only fully appreciate in the encounter with Christ. A freedom that requires self-destruction is no freedom at all. Authentic freedom is the ability to do what is good, but this requires that we know the truth about the good. (Justice and Love covered in proceeding episodes) The post RN-4 – Value # 4 – Truth and Freedom – Regnum Novum w/ Omar Gutierrez podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.
