  • American soldiers have shed their  all over the world in the name of defending other peoples right to freedom and liberty. But ask any American: What is Liberty? and they don't know.

    Paraphrasing from:The Encyclical Libertas, by Leo XII

    Liberty and Freedom are the same, they are the power of choice. That's it!

    Freedom can be evil if we have "the power" to choose evil (contraceptive use, abortion, euthenasia, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity, muder, war, etc.). Therefore, liberty by itself is not so great as they make it to be. Is it?

     Right is right even if no one is doing it." - Saint Augustine
