The new normal is to be sub-human. Someone said to me recently that it was "human" to sin. No, it is human to want to be with God. We were created to desire God. We were, as the Baltimore Catechism states created for a reason.
From the Baltimore Catechism Number One:
6. Q. Why did God make you?
A. God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world,
and to be happy with Him for ever in heaven.
Now, Christ redeemed us through His Passion and Death. He showed us the way and gave us hope to achieve happiness in heaven through the Resurrection, the sign of His Victory over sin and death.
It is normal and human to want to be happy and to be good. To want to be evil is sub-human. The capital sins turn us into sub-humans. Virtues and a life without sin make us fully human.
It is sub-human to choose evil over and over. It is slavery not the freedom of the sons and daughters of God
