CCMMP Integration

We are Created with rational capacity to perceive truth and order our lives accordingly—sharing in Divine Reason. Fallen reasoning becomes trapped in distortion, defense, and irrationality born from fear and shame. Redeemed reason, illuminated by grace, increasingly perceives truth and aligns our thinking with God's wisdom and our authentic good.
