Definition of Evil from Catholic Encyclopedia
[link to www.newadvent.org]

"With regard to the nature of evil, it should be observed that evil is of three kinds — physical, moral, and metaphysical.

Physical evil includes all that causes harm to man, whether by bodily injury, by thwarting his natural desires, or by preventing the full development of his powers, either in the order of nature directly, or through the various social conditions under which mankind naturally exists."

......Evil is......All that Thwarts and Prevents
the Full development of his powers

Honestly, I think the Catholic encyclopedia
is in need of a new
definition of Evil----looks like they have unwittingly
pinned the tail on their own donkey.
