The Problem of Moral Action

Fr. John Corbett, OPOften, the problem of deciding what to do depends on how an action is described.  For example, people are against killing when it is called “murder,” but they may have other thoughts about it when words such as “just war” or “self-defense” are used.  So what controls the way we describe our actions? 

To clearly explain Catholic teaching in this area, moral theologian and Thomist Fr. John Corbett, O.P., will present a FREE lecture, “The Problem of Moral Action: How Do Words Control our Decisions?” on Saturday, April 16, at 10:00 AM at Mt. de Sales Academy, 700 Academy Road, Catonsville, MD.  Free coffee and donuts will follow.

Hope to meet you there.
