Puppets in the hands of God? A naturalistic discourse on freedom so current

About :
Pelagius, a British monk and contemporary of St. Augustine, denied the reality of original sin transmitted from Adam to his descendants. He therefore denied the necessity of grace to do good and of prayer to obtain from God to overcome temptations and not fall into sin. He was particularly annoyed by a prayer of the Saint of Hippo: "Give me what you command and then command what you will" (Confessions 10, 29, 40). For Pelagius this prayer reduced man to a puppet determined by the movement of divine grace. However, when he was put under pressure and it was pointed out to him that with the Lord's prayer in the Our Father, we ask: "Forgive us our debts... And lead us not into temptation", Pelagius replied that in that case we ask God not to make us endure evils that we are not able to avoid with our own strength. All purely natural. In fact, if there is no original sin, human nature is not wounded and therefore man does everything by himself. She does not need God. And it happens that, in this perspective, the Blessed Virgin becomes annoying for her ability to choose only God and good as the Immaculate Conception. It is also true, however, that Pelagius, in his error, called upon the Mother of God (for whom an exception must be made, St. Augustine will tell him), to justify the absence of original sin. Even in heretical delirium, sometimes something true is said. However, the challenge launched by Pelagius is still very current: when are we truly free?
