The rcc (and other catholic churches, including anglicanism) insistence that god is omniscient means that catholics by necessity have to believe that free will is impossible. For if god knows all, ordinary humans cannot possibly have a choice in their actions.
The belief in free will is a fundamental Catholic teaching.
Yes, we believe God knows everything that happens, that doesn't mean that we don't choose our actions. It means He knows what we are going to choose.
You can't have god being all knowing and have free will at the same time it's a paradox.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.
