Method and Catholic Moral Theology: The Ongoing Reconstruction
The decisive break from the traditional manual approach to moral theology represented
by Vatican II reoriented moral theology away from universal natural law morality based
on the commandments to a morality based on specifically Christian sources. This
reorientation, however, was not an either/or but a both/and proposition. Father Norbert
Rigali, S.J. has been an inspiration and a challenge to moral theologians working toward
reconstruction. The essays in this collection address four questions in the renewal
movement: an investigation of normative methods, a clarification of sources, an
investigation of the tension between natural law morality and Christian ethics and/or
morality, and a combination of methodical insights of philosophy with traditional
Christian sources in their investigation of biomedical ethical issues. The contributors to
the collection include Richard M. Gula, S.S., Joseph A. Selling, Bernard Hoose, Mark
O'Keefe, O.S.B., James F. Keenan, S.J., Edward Collins Vacek, S.J., Charles E.
Curran, James J. Walter, Todd A. Salzman, Jean Porter, Lisa Sowle Cahill, and
Richard A. McCormick, S.J.
