-- Father Jonathan Morris.
Of Fox News contributor.
Poses on perished on -- -- sorrow.
And jars are wonderful and they can morning currently sold in as good is as -- as you can be sure.
So all talk about -- -- them -- -- -- him.
-- I just the most commonly asked question probably for -- him knows he -- why -- Don't allow listeners you have to explain demand and Ernst -- Talked about her -- -- -- fell.
Sure well you know it's as someone in my parish the other day came up to me and said.
Father I've lost -- I'm having hard time paying for basic needs my family -- I'm only give you this donation to the church it was about ten dollars.
And because I know -- somebody else who eats and more.
God did not do is that she didn't.
I was a good thing that she didn't know god did not do it and god did not -- these little children either.
The amazing thing and it's a mystery I don't have all the answers to this is that god would.
Think that free -- such a beautiful thing and I think it has something to do with the fact that love is such a beautiful thing.
That he would risk the possibility of us abusing that free will also that he could and turn to if relationship with gusts.
-- that we can and -- to relationship of friendship involved with others.
And there are consequences.
-- was there I believe with those little children.
At the moment.
But that this tragedy happened he cried along side and the parents -- were crying now.
-- -- dodged -- about a senate style soft dot.
Could do anything.
But god created an additional three well.
-- Done all.
He needs to revise up because there -- groups in my view an idiotic plan.
You met -- this -- imagine if every time you use your free ruled badly like if you yell at Connell.
And god would be their unstoppable when they're using his -- well perhaps -- usually make me uncomfortable so this is my turn.
If god were to stop Connell from curing.
Those.
You know -- it's -- that you have -- him.
Every single time you do it.
Well then what would we be.
We -- we would be robots.
There would be no such thing as humanity -- be no such -- mission in life.
If god were to stop every single bullet that were -- What would we be -- I do believe in miracles and do believe that god.
Sometimes intervenes.
And that's the mystery here why did what is god sometimes intervene and sometimes does not I wish you would have intervened.
And last Friday.
I don't know why he didn't.
This does sound political law and order pearl the -- like also is complete nonsense to me that it's it's actually frightening -- And I mean -- -- she won't mean there are not an atheist.
But and higher but under our I was thinking and augmenting about all we can what what is God's role.
He will certainly free will is a very powerful thing.
He's gifted us with -- so that we could act according to our good conscience.
And it might seem crazy to imagine a world without free will.
And and it would be because we would be walking robots.
God does promise however -- to bring out a greater good out of every single instance of suffering and evil in this world even our bad decisions.
Maybe this will make a little bit more cents -- that if -- sits back and allows evil.
But has a second plan a plan B.
That is having an ultimate justice.
And we can begin to understand a little bit.
Yes she allows us to use it for the -- for the -- -- you do at the ranch that's a good use of free will.
And the consequences are beautiful and good if you took your ability to do that away from new.
If you could not too good.
Imagine what she would be like.
And -- god says I am just as he did watching his own son die -- the -- he said results.
I'm going to bring up a high possibility.
For redemption for all people I believe that's where heaven is not believe that these twenty little angels.
Are experiencing God's promise.
That -- bring out a greater good out of every instance of suffering and evil does that make any sense at all of course.
And Ricardo -- -- -- are you are and are you -- well but it just.
That sums and seem to me we're talking until volatile.
