It's time to unpack these myths...

By Anthony Esolen, The Catholic Thing - I take it as given that God commands only what is good for us and forbids only what is bad, which means sometimes also not permitting others to do what’s bad.  For we are social beings, and permission slides into participation, and participation slides into approval, and approval eventually demands celebration, and sometimes even compulsion.
