“… freedom to choose does not mean freedom to choose the consequences of our choice, for we are living in a universe, not a chaos: we can choose to do this or that, but the consequences of that choice will be governed by the laws of the universe in which we are. It is only if we use our freedom of choice–that is, our freedom to choose without coercion–to make choices in harmony with the reality of things–in harmony with what God is, with what we are and with what all other things are–that we achieve freedom in its sense as the fullness of being.” – Frank Sheed, Theology and Sanity
