When we affirm, as the Church must do, that freedom is not the natural endowment of every human being but is something to be won by acknowledgment of the truth, and that in the end the truth is something given by the sheer grace of God to be received in faith, there is bound to be anger. There is bound to be the feeling that the free society is once again threatened by dogma. I think the Church cannot evade the sharpness of this encounter.
