1. FALLEN NATURE, GRACE, AND FREE WILL

            By the mere powers of his nature, man can know many truths and practice various virtues. However, without the aid of grace, it is impossible for him to perdure in the knowledge and practice of all the Commandments. 36

            This means that in every fallen man there is always a weakness of the intelligence and a first tendency, prior to any reasoning, that incites him to rebel against the Law. 37

 



36. See Part I, Chapter 7, 2, D.



37. Donoso Cortes's important development on this truth is very pertinent to the present work. See his "Ensayo sobre el Catolicismo, el Liberalismo y el Socialismo," in Obras Completas (Madrid: Biblioteca de Autores Cristianos, 1946), vol.2, p.377.
