“And to the Cross He went, crucified by the liberty of a decaying democracy which is indifferent to truth…Calvary on that day is the picture of the modern world. The crisis of that day, as that of our own day, is the crisis of liberty. As Christ was crucified on Good Friday by false liberty, so is man crucified today. Liberalism and capitalism which were indifferent to morality and truth did not give us liberty but only the right to be individually selfish. Freedom is not the right to do whatever we please; neither is it the right to do what we must; it is the moral right to do what we ought.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen
