The Primacy of Love in Moral Theology (Seminar 2)
Within Moral Theology charity-love has been emphasised by Christian writers and ethicists. This theme is strongly reemphasised in Vatican II noting that the Christian vocation is to bring forth the fruit of charity in the world (Optatam totius, 16, 1965). This session will explore how love has been stressed in moral theology, Vatican II and beyond.
Date: Saturday 23 September 2017
Time: 10.00am to 12.00pm The Spiritual Exercises and the Formation of Christian Conscience (Seminar 3)
Conscience is the basic human faculty for living a Christian moral life. The concern is how to appropriately form a Christian conscience.
The emphasis in the Spiritual Exercises on the love for God and others in the journey of following Christ helps to form the Christian conscience to reach maturity.
