Question
Hi there,
I was hoping you could tell me about the Christian Views on Free Will, and if it is looked at as evil?
Thanks
Peace
Dear Abbie,
Catholic believe man has free will. Most Protestant sects that retain to "traditional" tenants of Protestantism either believe man has no free will or that its very very restricted, since the fall of Adam in the garden of Eden.

Expertise
I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
