Personally, I think the dysfunctional family has caused the younger generations to think they have no control over their choices.
I am repeating this list as it seems to me that the issue of having a free will must be addressed in order to break through the false idea that we are merely thrown about by passions.
More again later.

In order to have free will, people must have a center of their being
which is independent. Mortal sin makes us thralls, ...

We
are at the point where technology is creating the future not predicting
the future. Someone said today that free will is gone in most people in
the States, and possibly in the EU. Think about
this...................who has free will?

God
gave us free will, which sets us apart from the animals, and is part of
how we are made in His Image and Likeness. We are called, especially
those of us who are baptised, to know, to love, to serve God in this
world and to ...

The
Evil of Relativism-the denial of free will and hell. Posted by
Supertradmum. I cannot believe this. I am astounded. A religious person,
in a habit, said that there was no difference between good and evil in a
person.

One
of the themes of this blog has been the interaction of grace and free
will. Thankfully, we have a long tradition of the writings of the
Doctors of the Church and others on this subject. The reason I bring it
up again is that there ...

Posted
by Supertradmum. Concluding this little three part series on the sin of
presumption, I want to stress that this sin involves not only pride,
but the denial of free will, reason, and revelation. Presumption also
denies natural ...

Though
the fact may surprise some who frame the debate in terms of divine
sovereignty, it must be stated that Augustine is not an enemy of the
free will. In fact, Augustine is vehement in his defense of free will on
occasion.

God wills all men to be saved and no on to perish...nor after the fall
of the first man is it His will forcibly to deprive man of free will.
(3) That those, however, who are walking in the path of righteousness in
their innocence, He ...

We
have free will to repent, change, accept grace and move into the
purgation or perfection stage. And, if a habit of rebellion and
stubborness persists, one loses the ability to discern. Canisius was
writing at a time when ...

The
Church has always held up the primacy of free will in man to choose.
That God permits evil is a mystery. Here is a quotation from the Council
of Quierzy: "Our will, aided by prevenient grace and concomitant is
free to do ...

It
is, basically, a giving up of our freedoms and responsibilities,
especially with regard to free will. Adults who do not want to grow up,
those stuck in the Peter Pan Syndrome, fall under this false belief
system and avoid real ...

said... Raptor, I am sorry for all that pain-but Jesus and God did not
make those people act that way. We all have freedom, free will and
sadly, many people abuse it. Jesus will not step on our free will, like
some ...

God
has a perfect will and plan for us and a permissive will, which allows
evil things to happen. This permissive will forms the mystery of
suffering and the allowance of evil, from the free choices of men and
women. However ...

The
first is the denial of free will. People chose to make bad choices
daily. There is a growing number of Catholics on twitter, in blogs and
in daily speech who reveal that they do not understand two things about
free will.
