The error lies in exalting freedom to such an extent that it becomes an absolute, which would then be the source of values....In this way the inescapable claims of truth disappear, yielding their place to a criterion of sincerity, authenticity and being at peace with oneself'. There is no room for authentic community, the common good, and solidarity in this way of thinking." *** Boy, I'm glad I'm an Anglican these days.
