I don't have the time or the inclination to educate you in moral theology. One is never "free" to violate the natural law, "those that commit sin become a slave to sin". If you were so inclined you might start with Veritatis splendor. "Once again its all in the translation, and what I'm reading in the new testament doesn't talk about using caesar's law for God's will!"

All men are required to follow the dictates of the moral law, including men collectively grouped as states. You are right tho,it's all in the translation. Flawed translations of the scriptures and bad theology lead to the current state of affairs

"One is never "free" to violate the natural law"

Perhaps free is the incorrect word to use.
Does one have a choice to violate natural law?

That would be a more accurate wording of what I meant to say.
