maybe he can come to UNH?

Richard John Neuhaus in a sermon at Columbia University:

"[there are competing ideas of freedom in this world]. there is a freedom understood as doing whatever you want; following your impulses, your passions, your desires. this is the freedom of indifference. that is, a freedom indifferent to right and wrong, the base and the noble, simply a freedom of acting upon desire.

true freedom, i will suggest, is the freedom that is directed towards excellence. the freedom that is not doing what we want to do, but wanting to do what we ought to do. the freedom of excellence, the freedom to be whom God called us to be and by his grace enables us to be. Jesus said, "You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free". Knowing the Truth, believing the Truth, living the Truth."
