More wisdom from Joseph Ratzinger

Not infrequently freedom is understood in an anarchic and simply anti-institutional manner and thus becomes an idol. Authentic human freedom can only be the freedom of just reciprocal relations, the freedom of justice; otherwise it becomes a lie and leads to slavery.

—Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI)
