Covering the problem of Human Freedom and Old Testament Revelation, this is the fourth in a series of lectures on the Catholic Catechism recorded in 1965 by Archbishop Fulton J Sheen in the privacy of his own study. A master communicator, Fulton Sheen recorded this insightful overview of the teaching of the Holy Catholic Church.
God knows all things because He is the Creator. He foreknows everything but does not predetermine what we do. We still have freedom, but we are led by God’s love. God made a moral universe in which there would be a choice between good and evil so that people with character might emerge. He made us free, with the power to say yes or no. We are free to love or hate.
