You didn’t answer the question? So you reject that God gave us free will to accept or reject God?

The Catholic church does not reject that we have free will.

Grace preserves an inner relation to a supernatural activity, because it does not impart to the soul the act but rather the disposition to perform supernatural and meritorious acts; therefore grace is remotely and immediately a disposition to act.

Everything that we have has been given to us by God. We can accept God’s graces or we can reject them.

My belief is that too many reject God and His Truth by following man’s truth. Our pride in what we want to believe overrides what Jesus taught us. We can always repent and accept God’s Truth before we die. Jesus has Great Mercy if we are heartily sorry for offending Him.

I don’t see how the Canons of the Council of Orange support your assertions.

Let me add some additional comments.

I believe that Jesus is very concerned and upset at the level of sin in the world through private revelations. Jesus has indicated that He would provide an “enlightenment” that we may see our souls. and if people do not repent their sinful ways, then a chastisement.

I see great sinfulness by Catholics and that many Cardinals, Bishops and priests are leading some Catholics to their perdition. Some issues: abortion, adultery, same sex, pride, God’s commandments and not following His teachings.

I see many false teachers that make false promises and erroneous teachings that Christ did not make, yet many do not enter the narrow gate and the way hard. Matthew 7:13-14 “Those that find it are few.”

As the Blessed Mother of God requested, I pray daily for the conversion of sinners.
