Our Description

This encyclical letter of Pope John Paul II was written to address the theological and philosophical issues concerning moral theology. At the time, the pope was very concerned about some non-Catholic views that had found their way into Catholic schools and seminaries.

The document is divided into the following sections:

Introduction
Jesus Christ, the true Light that enlightens everyone
The purpose of the present encyclical
Chapter I "Teacher, What good must I do?"

Christ and the answer to the question about morality
Someone came to him...
Teacher, what good must I do to have eternal life?
There is only one who is good
If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments
If you wish to be perfect
Come, follow me
With God all things are possible
Lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age

Chapter II "Do not be conformed to this world"

The Church and the discernment of certain tendencies in present-day moral theology
Teaching which benefits sound doctrine
You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free
I. Freedom and Law
II. Conscience and Truth
III. Fundamental Choice and Specific Kinds of Behavior
IV. The Moral Act

Chapter III "Lest the Cross of Christ be emptied of its power"

Moral good for the life of the Church and of the world
For freedom Christ has set us free
Walking in the light
Martyrdom, the exaltation of the inviolable holinessof God's law
Universal and unchanging moral norms at the service of the person and of society
Morality and the renewal of social and political life
Grace and obedience to God's law
Morality and new evangelization
The service of moral theologians
Our own responsibilities as pastors

Conclusion
Mary, Mother of Mercy
