Morality: The Catholic View

Here we have an excellent understanding of what Catholic morality should be. The emotional appeal commonly ascribed to the Baptists is utilized with the perspective of level-headed thinkers like Thomas Aquinas. What you get is a too-brief account of how Catholics ought to view morality as a calling, not a duty, and I am all here for it.

Catholicism seems to have slightly forgotten how to absolutely cook on topics like this. This work points out how Aquinas' entire essay on human happiness got discarded by the thinkers who liked the raw logical appeal of his works. Given this, we're presented with a whole new approach to morality (for a Catholic - not sure what the Protestants have going over there; we might be behind them here). I adore this work. We basically get a simultaneous gutting and reconstructing of the typical worldview, all contained within less than 200 pages.

Can't recommend enough. Even for a non-Catholic, here you will find a well-articulated walkthrough of what it means to seek a moral life.

And who knows? You may be drawn to stained glass instead of Jumbotrons.
