Truth

“The reason we are so unhappy is that we have killed God the Father.” Sigmund Freud paraphrasing St. Paul

“You will not admit that you murdered God…We did the same thing, to be sure, but we have admitted it and since then we have been absolved.” Freud describing Christian critique of Jews

God is the source of all truth and we are called to live in the truth. Rebelling against truth is not freedom. “Real living faith is a permanent battle with our “I,” which has shifted from the position of “god” at the moment of our conversion, but nevertheless constantly endeavors to regain that position.” Tomas Halik, Night of the Confessor (Image, 2012)
