WHOSE FAULT IS IT, ANYWAY?

God has endowed the human person with the gift of free will. This gift, a good in and of itself, can be used rightly or it can be used wrongly. Rightly used, this gift frees man to love God with all his strength and to love his neighbor as himself. Wrongly used, this same gift gives man the ability to commit great atrocities and dastardly deeds...Evil, and the suffering it perpetrates, is caused by man's abuse of freedom.
