The Strictness of the Law of Christ - Fr. Juan Velez
Fr. Juan Velez shares his respect for St. John Henry Newman as one "who brings Christ to others" as a teacher of the faith. In our discussion of Newman's sermon "The Strictness of the Law of Christ" Fr. Juan highlights Newman's view of morality as not necessarily a duty or an obligation rather morality is a privilege because we are meant to delight in God. Our perfect freedom is found in all that is good and true because they lead us to God who is Truth and Goodness itself.
