Distributism for Dorothy Quotes

“A "right" to false worship is as nonsensical as asserting a "right" to theft. In the moral law, freedom and license are distinct. In the usage of English, "may" and "can" are distinct. In conscience, grace received and grace refused are distinct. No one is "free" to reject God anymore than one is "free" to commit grand theft auto - ask souls in hell or prisoners in the penitentiary if their acts manifest freedom. The power to do is not the same as permission to do - Satan rebelled in fact and, by definition, in disobedience; he did not assert his freedom, but reduced his freedom to nothing. The citizen committing a crime, the soul committing a sin, the angels committing rebellion, forfeit their freedom. (page 396)”
