Ten Commandments
Whatever happened to the Ten Commandments? Did they become the “Ten Suggestions”? Should parents despair that their children will never encounter these moral guides?
“Relax,” writes Father McBride, “The Ten Commandments are more alive than ever because now they’re seen not just in terms of the sins they forbid, but also the values they espouse.... Far more than being restrictive laws, the Ten Commandments are liberating values as well as loving directives for our moral lives.” McBride examines the positive value of each commandment and places it in the context of contemporary culture, explaining each commandment in terms of the attitudes and behaviors it liberates us from in order to free us for the acquisition of attitudes that enhance love.
