Fides Et Ratio

God has gifted us with the ability to use reason. Due to the effects of original sin, however, passion often blinds our interior senses (reason) and can lead us to become ravenous wolves. We see this with the impact it has on others when our sexual desires or desires of the flesh are in control of our lives. Addictions form and we do the worst most unimaginable things. God saves us from slavery, but as we are saved, there is a certain method to keep it that way and it involves bitterness in the Desert.
