Why does God allow evil? This mystery of iniquity induces many to doubt God's goodness / existence. If evil is only considered by itself, then it is terribly ugly and detested. But when seen in light of the whole, the saint perceives how it is needed for completeness. We must be tested, crushed, ground, and tried by fire. Some will fall. Some will be victorious. Yet the victory exceeds the losses endured and brings about greater glory. This world is designed to bring about the greatest beauty / glory possible. This requires true sacrifice. God allows evil because He made us for battle. He equips us with irascible appetites and supernatural virtue so we can win. It is in our nature to satisfy justice and repair damage - but we can only do so by suffering out of love for God and uniting ourselves to Christ.
