Yes I think that teaching is correct. But I very much appreciate what Bergoglio is saying. Overall he is spot on. The basic principle applies to every kind of society. It was just that one part that I wondered about, given the historical background he comes from. Maybe I misunderstood him.
“The goal of human freedom is not in freedom itself, nor it is in man, but in God. By giving man freedom, God has yielded to man a piece of His Divine authority, but with the intention that man himself would voluntarily bring it as a sacrifice to God, a most perfect offering. “
- St. Theophan the Recluse
