It didn't used to be so hard to lead a moral life. Decisions were eitherright or wrong-"black or white." Today the concept of sin seemsto have disappeared with our society's current focus on situational ethics.Every decision is made up of "shades of gray."

In this climate, Catholics often feel inadequately prepared to answerthe complex ethical questions they face. In response, Father Bouchard providesan intelligent and readable introduction to the Catholic moral perspective.True morality is a lifelong process-a positive, creative capacity thathelps us know not only what we should do, but what kind of person we wantto be.

He explains how our understanding of conscience, sin, virtue, liturgy,and friendship shape our moral lives and draw us to God. He also looksat the changing shape of Christian morality, sexual morality, our personalresponsibility for healthcare, and other modern ethical issues.

He highlights additional resources, including the pope's encydical,and prepares us to answer today's ethical questions. You'll discover howtrue Catholic morality is a "yes" to God and human happiness.
