In this encyclical written in 1888, he explains the nature of true liberty \u2013 the liberty of the Children of God.  He then expounds on the false ideas of liberty that have affected society.  Since we modern Catholics are breathing in liberal ideas all around us, this encyclical is an excellent antidote for the student against the modern claim that men have liberty of conscience to do whatever they wish, and even have a natural right to choose evil.  Besides the idea of true liberty, the pope discusses the natural law and the duties of government.   An excellent work!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" class=\"pt-Normal\"><span class=\"pt-DefaultParagraphFont-000004\">As with all the papal encyclicals that Christ the King Books publishes, the student is aided by annotations, examples, and illustrations as aids to understanding.  <\/span><span class=\"pt-DefaultParagraphFont\">Encyclicals can be understood and enjoyed by high school students!<\/span><span class=\"pt-DefaultParagraphFont-000004\">  Many students become excited when reading the popes\u2019 writings and understanding their reasoning!  We have seen firsthand what reading these excellent work does for forming the correct Catholic mindset, and for removing liberalism from the blood.   Recommended for grades 11-12 and adults, too!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please view \/ download a PDF sample of this book.
