“Then someone came to him and said, ‘Teacher, what good
must I do to have eternal life?’” – Mt. 19:16
We are to do good and avoid evil, but can we be confident in distinguishing one from the other? And what are we to think of legalism and freedom? Doesn’t law impose itself, limiting our autonomy and doing violence to conscience? Are there really evils that are always and in every circumstance totally out of line? In answer to these and like questions, St. Pope John Paul II provides an emphatic and clear teaching in his encyclical Veritatis Splendor (The Splendor of Truth).
Come join the Theology Guild for a guided study of one of the most comprehensive teachings of moral theology in the Catholic tradition. Form your mind and your conscience according to Catholic Truth beginning September 19th.
