Freedom without lawfulness

The then Cardinal Ratzinger wrote the following about the freedom of the younger son in the Parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15

When all is said and done, therefore, it is a slave’s freedom - even though it reveals its true nature only late in the game and even though it takes a long time before it has so ruined itself by bad management that it lands among the pigs’ husks and must still envy the swine because they are not cursed with freedom.
