This is an historical survey of 20th Century Roman Catholic
Theological Ethics (also known as moral theology). The thesis is
that only through historical investigation can we really understand
how the most conservative and negative field in Catholic theology
at the beginning of the 20th could become by the end of the 20th
century the most innovative one. The 20th century begins with moral
manuals being translated into the vernacular. After examining the
manuals of Thomas Slater and Henry Davis, Keenan then turns to
three works and a crowning synthesis of innovation all developed
before, during and soon after the Second World War. The first by
Odon Lottin asks whether moral theology is adequately historical;
Fritz Tillmann asks whether it's adequately biblical; and, Gerard
Gilleman, whether it's adequately spiritual. Bernard Haering
integrates these contributions into his Law of Christ. Of course,
people like Gerald Kelly and John Ford in the US are like a few
moralists elsewhere, classical gate keepers, censoring innovation.
But with Humanae vitae, and successive encyclicals, bishops and
popes reject the direction of moral theologians.
