Little theological tidbit here:

In Catholicism, there is a distinction between God's permissive will and God's active/perfect will.

God's permissive will is what God allows to happen, even if he does not desire it. God, for instance, gives us free will, which entails the ability to sin, but God does not desire that we sin.

God's active/perfect will is what he actually desires for us.
