“The one who lives in this way, ‘according to the flesh,’ that is, who subjects himself – even if not altogether consciously, nevertheless effectively – to the threefold concupiscence, particularly to the concupiscence of the flesh, ceases to be capable of this freedom for which ‘Christ has set us free’; he also ceases to be suitable for the true gift of self, which is the fruit and expression of such freedom.”
