Fundamental Moral Theology I

Catalog description

This course examines the foundational elements of Roman Catholic moral theology in the post-Vatican II era. It understands the human person as a rational being capable through God’s gifts of pursuing his or her ultimate end: life eternal with God. Accordingly, it entails an examination this ultimate end of happiness, a theological anthropology underlying the person as a moral agent, the nature of human action, the sources of morality, the dispositions by which one is disposed to act well (virtues and gifts) or poorly (vice and sin), God’s law, grace, and the worshiping Eucharistic community as well as issues in contemporary Catholic moral theology.” Catechism 2031.
