Supernatural Freedom
I find it useful to draw a distinction between two orders of freedom: supernatural freedom and temporal freedom.

The human being, transcendent by comparison to other beings or earthly goods, enjoys true supremacy and responsibility for himself and for creation. We support this dignity as we live with fraternity and gratuity.
In the 2012 presidential election cycle one of the parties (need I name names?) continues to accuse the other of waging a war on women. However, there is a real war on women under way in our country, a war of many years duration and whose primary tools are lies and propaganda. “The current propaganda has been just as lethal to women and children in the US as anything that goes on in any country in Asia or Africa or Latin America. Any man (or woman) who encourages a woman to think that access to sterilization and abortion will make her equal to men, has rejected her womanhood, and therefore has rejected her as a real person.” (Sr. Anne Marie Walsh, SOLT)
