Hello everyone!

[fr0d0]

I get the impression most Catholics are 'forced' or 'birthed'. How can you accept the choice to believe if it wasn't a choice?

My hero Palagius:

While in Rome, Pelagius first heard of Augustine through his reading of a prayer from Augustine's Confessions: "Give what Thou commandest and command that Thou wilt." To Pelagius, the philosophy expressed in this prayer sounded like the total abandonment of human responsibility and a denial of the ethical dimensions of the Christian faith. If all moral action, thought Pelagius, depends solely on God - both the commanding as well as the ability to obey - God is either an arbitrary tyrant or else man is a creature deprived of free will.
