Let The Oppressed Go Free

Our contemporary culture has created an environment that is ripe for fostering addictions of all types. In this pastoral work by one of the Church’s leading prelates, Cardinal Justin Rigali gives insights to the very nature of addictions. He explains the spiritual and physical ramifications of addictions and goes on to teach how the Church offers hope and help for both those who are struggling with addiction and to their family and loved ones.
