3 1 | Church is hostile to human liberty. Having a false and absurd
4 1 | absurd notion as to what liberty is, either they pervert
5 3 | 3. It is with moral liberty, whether in individuals
6 3 | speak briefly of natural liberty; for, though it is distinct
7 3 | and separate from moral liberty, natural freedom is the
8 3 | fountainhead from which liberty of whatsoever kind flows,
9 3 | recognizes this natural liberty in those only who are endowed
10 3 | the foundation of natural liberty is at once most firmly laid.~
11 4 | innovators have attacked the liberty of man, the Church has defended
12 4 | years she defended human liberty at the Council of Trent,

14 5 | rational will and of its liberty is that good only which
15 6 | implies defect in human liberty. The will also, simply because
16 6 | essence or perfection of liberty, then God, Jesus Christ,
17 6 | this power, would have no liberty at all, or would have less
18 6 | all, or would have less liberty than man has in his state
19 6 | his free will; and this is liberty. Whereas, when he sins,
20 7 | being the condition of human liberty, it necessarily stands in
21 8 | on which our reason and liberty necessarily depend. For,
22 8 | that the use of our inborn liberty becomes at once less difficult
23 9 | What has been said of the liberty of individuals is no less
24 10| standard and rule of human liberty, not only in each individual
25 10| united. Therefore, the true liberty of human society does not
26 10| eternal law. Likewise, the liberty of those who are in authority

28 11| or even destroying their liberty, it protects and perfects

33 14| discuss the question of liberty they were careful to grasp
34 14| of individual and public liberty. But many there are who
35 14| consequently substitute for true liberty what is sheer and most foolish
36 14| who, usurping the name of liberty, style themselves liberals.~
37 15| which, under the guise of liberty, exonerates man from any
38 16| doctrines promote that true liberty which alone is worthy of

40 17| therefore they would have liberty ruled and directed by right
41 19| more evident, the growth of liberty ascribed to our age must

44 20| error. Wherefore, when a liberty such as We have described
45 20| as We have said, is no liberty, but its degradation, and
46 21| 21. This kind of liberty, if considered in relation
47 22| wish to add the remark that liberty of so false a nature is
48 22| greatly hurtful to the true liberty of both rulers and their
49 22| restrictions to be put upon the liberty of the people. We need not
50 22| morals, and pure morals to liberty. Reason shows, and history
51 22| States; the greater are the liberty and wealth and power which
52 23| must now consider briefly liberty of speech, and liberty of
53 23| briefly liberty of speech, and liberty of the press. It is hardly
54 23| bounds and end of all true liberty. For right is a moral power
55 23| license will gain what liberty loses; for liberty will
56 23| what liberty loses; for liberty will ever be more free and
57 23| s free discussion, full liberty of thought and of speech
58 23| right of everyone; for such liberty never leads men to suppress

60 24| as is evident, that the liberty of which We have been speaking
61 24| teaching whatever it pleases-a liberty which the State cannot grant
62 25| 25. Wherefore, this liberty, also, in order that it
63 27| never ceased to assert her liberty of teaching, and in this
64 27| the perfecting of human liberty, since our Saviour Jesus
65 27| is no reason why genuine liberty should grow indignant, or
66 29| nature and character of that liberty which the followers of liberalism
67 29| divers ways, restricting her liberty within narrowest limits,
68 30| 30. Another liberty is widely advocated, namely,
69 30| widely advocated, namely, liberty of conscience. If by this

71 30| indeed, is true liberty, a liberty worthy of the sons of God,
72 30| all violence or wrong-a liberty which the Church has always
73 30| dear. This is the kind of liberty the Apostles claimed for
74 30| deservedly so; for this Christian liberty bears witness to the absolute
75 31| independently of God, the liberty of which We speak, which
76 32| great part of the false liberty which is so much extolled,

78 34| happier times exercise her own liberty; and, by persuasion, exhortation,
79 34| remains always true-that the liberty which is claimed for all
80 35| themselves ready to lavish liberty on all in the greatest profusion,
81 35| refusing to allow her the liberty of being herself free.~
82 36| that, as a consequence, any liberty, except that which consists
83 36| who treasonably abuses his liberty; and in such a disposition
84 37| the greatest perversion of liberty and the worst kind of liberalism;
85 42| be no restraint on human liberty. It likewise follows that
86 42| as the Church does; for liberty is to be regarded as legitimate
87 43| or a deprivation of the liberty of the Church on the other,
88 43| as will bring about due liberty of action. In such case,
89 43| an excessive and vicious liberty is not sought, but only
