The Catholic Moral Tradition

For example, all parents teach the children to treat all other people with dignity and respect.

Identify and explain the development of basic virtues (traditional and suggested by Keenan)

What is interesting is not "human behavior" but "human being" (unlike modern keenan theologians).

1 John 4: 20-21: Those who hate brothers and sisters, saying "I love God" is a liar; for those who do not love their brothers and sisters, they love God they do not have You can not. The commandment gained from him is like this. Those who love God must also love their brothers and sisters. "

Respond to crisis and other needs (eg Pest of the 250's - Dionysius congregation of Alexandria, Cyprus of Carthage)

Product dispute - moral life is not just good, but evil => may make choices difficult by giving priority to goods

Moral life has realized various ways of our relationship => We do not complete the inner character but only in our relationship

3) I am a person, so I have a relationship, I care about "common interests". Everyone

Careful or far-sighted insight (integrate the other three - we specify how to assign obligations / responsibilities to others)

=> Moderateness and tenacity do not disappear, but it is regarded as an auxiliary virtue (meaning auxiliary or "help").

Instead of thinking about "thickness" and "thinness", I came up with a series of ways to explain how to become a virtue.

Be a good person (very 'thin' description) -> fidelity. (Somewhat slender) -> Become a faithful spouse. -> Do not spend a romantic weekend with people who are not spouses. Ben should not take her colleague Susan to Poconos when his wife leaves this weekend. (More 'thick' explanation) -> etc.

"In the process of pursuing growth towards an integrated, constitutive relationship with Christ, Catholics will be pityed by the common virtue that we share their practices." (P.152)

Catholic moral tradition emphasizes that "faith and reason are like two wings, human spirit goes up to meditation about the truth" (John Paul II, 1998). This method is based on philosophical thinking of Greek philosopher Aristotle. Aristotle believes that the ultimate truth comes from "top up", but people can pass through. I perceive the real thing in the following way. Their own views and judgment. Reason and faith are complementary. The reason is the source of moral authority and faith

Adoption of the "natural law" approach to morality means that the Catholic moral tradition can explain its teachings to all good people and believe it emphasizes human truth. This road is characterized by the fact that what is called "footprint" of God's love and the will of God is engraved in the beauty and integrity of creation. The space for using human reasons is very limited when deciding what is right and wrong if only those who meet the external authority appropriate for ethical decision-making are included. The natural legal approach releases us from this reduction of God's fund and deep human attributes.
