By Christine Murray ©Catholic Online 2004 People have always to determine the role of the free will in life indeed‚ whether they have one at all. As we approach the Catholic feast day of St. Augustine on Aug. 28‚ it is good to examine his writings on the subject‚ especially in Free Choice of the Will. He assumes the will is free and seeks to determine how we choose good or evil. This continues to be “debated” in our age and has great implications on one’s perspective on life. The Catholic
