These doctrines would grant 66 2, 36 | freedom against the divine law or to question the existence 67 2, 36 | sphere of the natural moral law.61 There has also been an 68 2, 36 | requirements deriving from that law, requirements which create 69 2, 36 | would be the expression of a law which man in an autonomous 70 2, 36 | considered the Author of this law, except in the sense that 71 2, 36 | fact that the natural moral law has God as its author, and 72 2, 36 | participates in the eternal law, which it is not for him 73 2, 37 | freedom and of the moral law, as well as their profound 74 2, 40 | discovering and applying the moral law: the moral life calls for 75 2, 40 | authority from the eternal law, which is none other than 76 2, 40 | of his actions. The moral law has its origin in God and 77 2, 40 | it is a properly human law. Indeed, as we have seen, 78 2, 40 | we have seen, the natural law "is nothing other than the 79 2, 40 | gave this light and this law to man at creation".71 The 80 2, 40 | possesses in himself his own law, received from the Creator. 81 2, 41 | acceptance of the moral law, of God's command: "The 82 2, 41 | Human freedom and God's law meet and are called to intersect, 83 2, 41 | free obedience to God's law effectively implies that 84 2, 41 | promptings of eternal wisdom.

Saint Augustine defines 96 2, 43 | knowledge of God's eternal law, is consequently able to 97 2, 43 | responsible care. The natural law enters here as the human 98 2, 43 | expression of God's eternal law. Saint Thomas writes: "Among 99 2, 43 | participation of the eternal law in the rational creature 100 2, 43 | creature is called natural law".82 ~ 101 2, 44 | Thomistic doctrine of natural law, including it in her own 102 2, 44 | subordination of reason and human law to the Wisdom of God and 103 2, 44 | Wisdom of God and to his law.

This is an "interior" law (cf Jer 31:31-33), "written 120 2, 45 | human hearts" (2 Cor 3:3); a law of perfection and of freedom ( 121 2, 45 | freedom (cf 2 Cor 3:17); "the law of the Spirit of life in 122 2, 45 | Thomas writes that this law "can be called law in two 123 2, 45 | this law "can be called law in two ways.

"The natural moral law expresses and lays down 137 2, 50 | human person. Therefore this law cannot be thought of as 138 2, 50 | the true God. ~The natural law thus understood does not 139 2, 51 | specific aspects of the natural law, especially its universality 140 2, 51 | From thence every just law is transcribed and transferred 141 2, 51 | this "truth" the natural law involves universality. Inasmuch 142 2, 51 | universality of the moral law on the part of reason. But 143 2, 51 | inasmuch as the natural law expresses the dignity of 144 2, 51 | submitting to the common law, our acts build up the true 145 2, 51 | contrary they disregard the law, or even are merely ignorant 146 2, 52 | the truth contained in the law.

To obey 154 2, 54 | relationship between freedom and law is thus intimately bound 155 2, 54 | above — in which freedom and law are set in opposition to 156 2, 56 | intrinsically evil by the moral law. A separation, or even an 157 2, 56 | human freedom and God's law. Only the clarification 158 2, 56 | truth, between freedom and law makes possible a discernment 159 2, 57 | the essence of the natural law also indicates the biblical 160 2, 57 | specific connection with the law: "When Gentiles who have 161 2, 57 | Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law 162 2, 57 | law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law 163 2, 57 | law requires, they are a law unto themselves, even though 164 2, 57 | though they do not have the law.

Like the natural law itself and all practical 181 2, 60 | indicated by the "divine law", the universal and objective 182 2, 60 | conscience does not establish the law; rather it bears witness 183 2, 60 | authority of the natural law and of the practical reason 184 2, 61 | truth is declared in the law of reason, is practically 185 2, 64 | 12:2), knowledge of God's law in general is certainly 186 2, 67 | to God's will, wisdom and law.
