Libertas Part 5

In this episode we examine Libertas paragraphs 13 and 15. We discuss how Liberals are those who want to ignore the sovereignty of God and subsequently act as though they are their own gods. In society this plays out to be the "will of the people." Because God is not the reference to look to for any question, the majority of the people become the decision makers. Pope Leo describes the separation of God and society as "repugnant." The ultimate consequence of this is the lowering of laws and standards to meet man's desires of the will. Instead of raising our standards to God's law, we ignore God's laws and bring the standards to how we are behaving. This is how bad behavior is eventually labeled as "good."
