God and morality



"Often when we say Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts we think "Moral, Moral, Moral". As if God were super Moral. Now this is not untrue but it is incomplete. The Lord is not a supernaturalized version of Immanuel Kant. I mean, that would be depressing and Heaven would turn into Hell in short order. "

Citation: Fr. Corbett O.P. in a talk given at the Dominican House of Studies, Washington D.C, March 8, 2007: "Mary & the Victory of Evil:
The Marian Role in the Resoration of the Image of God."
