It’s a byword. It’s a slogan. It’s a catchphrase. It’s what both hedonism and Christianity promise. Communist and democratic politicians promise it. Credit cards and casinos assure it. Evangelical ministers and prostitutes preach it. They all call it freedom. We all want it. But they can’t all have it. So who does, and what do…
Your Eminencies, Your Excellencies: We, the undersigned Catholic priests, scholars, and authors, write to you on the occasion of the latest document published by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Fiducia Supplicans, which has caused so much scandal in the Church during this last Christmastime.

In a short moment, the large excavator pushed on the corner and the edifice collapsed in a pile of rubble and dust. Already stripped of its stained glass and crucifix, the church, until the moment it…
