"A Christian without humility is a devil."
"A Christian who is not pure is more lonesome than Satan himself."
"A damned Christian is more hideous and more lonesome than Satan. For they once had the Body and Blood of Our Lord who is infinite purity. Satan never received the physical infinitely pure Body and Blood of Our Lord. A damned Christian however has. As the Latin saying goes: 'Corruptio optima Pessima est.' - The corruption of the best is the worst."
A Friend: Liberalism does promote the idea of individual liberty and autonomy. However, liberalism has no interest in what is moral/immoral, it merely claims that individual autonomy should be preferred over living a life of forced choices. I put forward the premise that a liberal and a moral man can coexist within oneself. It merely depends on whether the autonomous individual has made moral choices in life, for liberalism does not make your choices it lays its accountability on the individual as a consequence of free will.
My Response: You have summed up Liberalism. Liberalism divorced the idea that every action has a moral or immoral action. By divorcing the idea it is implicit denial that man does not have a final end, namely God. There cannot be any morality without following God's divine law. For every action is judged by the standard of divine law. Without this divine law there cannot be a system of morality.

St. Teresa was going to build a convent; but she had only half a ducat to begin with. Yet she began; and finished it, too. “For,” said the Saint; “Teresa and half a ducat are not much; but Teresa and half a ducat, with Almighty God to help, are a great deal.”
"Beef its what for dinner. Response from the Pope: Amen"
The two thousand member Catholic church was filled to overflowing capacity one Sunday morning for Mass. The priest was ready to start the Mass when two men, dressed in long black coats and black hats entered thru the rear of the church. One of the two men walked to the middle of the church while the other stayed at the back of the church. They both then reached under their coats and withdrew automatic weapons. The one in the middle announced, "Everyone willing to take a bullet for Jesus stay in your seats!" Naturally, the pews emptied. After a few moments, there were about twenty people left sitting in the church. The priest was holding steady. The men put their weapons away and said, gently, to the priest, "All right, father, the hypocrites are gone now. You may begin Mass."

“The devil knows that he has lost the soul that perseveringly practices contemplation.” - St. Teresa of Avila
"I know those animals are dear to your heart. But animals are dear to mine too, but they are dearer to my stomach." Talking to a friend of mine who is a vegetarian.
Saint Thomas Aquinas writes in his Summa Theologica: "No one can live without delight and that is why a man deprived of spiritual joy goes over to carnal pleasures."
"Wayfarers come and go, but the faithful stay, put down roots, lend their shoulders to the great work of building and repairing the Church, get their hands and clothes soiled, get weary, eat, rest, rejuvenate and return to the battle. But wayfarers come as tourists and as voyeurs, participate to varying extents and then turn back to their first true love, leaving the Church which they never joined. And so it is the will of God, that those who are just as Abraham was just, be collected to Holy Mother Church." - Lucio Mascarenhas, The Church Needs A Great Champion, Catholic Apologist & Catechist Authorized by the Holy Father, South Asia

The Vow of Chastity: "I am black but beautiful." (Canticles 1:4) This line reminds me of the Saints like St. Agnes who would rather be persecuted, even unto death, rather than to espouse another man other than Christ. Because in the end their vow of chastity was more important to them more than the fear and tortures of death. The spirit of purity is a visible sign of the spirit of God. We must all desire to acquire the spirit of purity both in our hearts and body. For our dignity of being human lies in the purity of our soul because the soul is the image of God Himself. For when the day we forget to practice purity both interiorly and exteriorly, as in these days, we forget our dignity as children of God, and subsequently we forget God. - Topeka News Religion Section, What is Your Favorite Bible Verse?, My response.
