There is a feeling that one who makes all his own decisions in religion is freer and more natural. But if a man joins, or remains in, the Church because he believes Christ founded it to give us truth and life and union with him, then it is mere sanity to accept the doctrines and the moral laws it tells us Christ has given it, and the means of life and union. It is not as if we could discover these things for ourselves. We know them on God's revelation or not at all. We must find the teacher authorized by God to teach and accept his authority. The alternative is to go without. And freedom is not served by ignorance.
