force for liberation (ITL), we recognize here an authentic sign of Gods presence and purpose . . . for authentic freedom is an exceptional sign of the divine image within man (GS 11, 17).
Authentic freedom is not the right to say and do anything, but to do the good
when we are forced to do something against our will. Then we realize how much we long to be free from things imposed on us.
Authentic
freedom, therefore, involves first of all freedom from everything that opposes our true self-becoming with others in community. Such, for example, our interior obstacles and exterior forces.
Interior Obstacles:
Ignorance
Disordered passions
Fears Personality defects Bad habits
Exterior Forces:
Violent force or even the threat of violence
Liberation to true freedom means first and foremost liberation from the radical slavery of sin
Beyond being liberated from all the obstacles to authentic
freedom is the freedom for growing as full persons and children of God, sharing in the life of Christ our Liberator through his Spirit. It is the freedom found in authentic love.
Freedom of the Children of God- The goal of this process and task
of personal freedom is to be set free from slavery to corruption and share in the glorious freedom of the children of God
Exercise of Responsible Freedom- As Christians, we come to know
what is moral good in the light of the Gospel and human experience. For faith throws a new light on everything and manifests Gods design for our total vocation, and thus directs the mind to solutions that are fully human
anything at all - but what is the good, in order to become our true selves
It involves both:
Freedom from whatever opposes our true self-becoming with others
in community, and Freedom for growing as full persons before God and our fellow human persons, in authentic love.
OBLIGATION
Is a course of action that someone is required to take whether legal
or moral. There are also obligations in other noramtive contexts, such as obligations of etiquette, social obligations, and possibly in terms of politics, where obligations are requirements which must be fulfilled.
Vary from person to person are generally granted in return for an increase in an individual's rights
or power.
