Then Why Not Do Them?

From Western Watchman (Catholic)
God has given men certain precepts that they must follow, and He has given them certain counsels that they are free to accept or reject. The precepts of God bind all men; they constitute the sum and substance of the moral law. If men do not observe the precepts, they are lost; if men do not conform their lives to the precepts of God, then they are condemned by God, who imposed those precepts. And these precepts are universal, they apply to all men. The king on his throne is no more obliged to observe the precepts of morality than is the beggar at his gate. The rich and the poor, the high and the lowly, are all bound by the same laws. There is no royal road to heaven; all must travel the same way. We have no one law for the rich and the powerful, and another law for the poor and the simple. No; Christianity has the same law for all men.
