Stemming from two conferences held in 1994 and 1996, Prophecy and
Diplomacy: The Moral Doctrine of John Paul II explores the general
orientations and the specific applications of the moral teaching of
Pope John Paul II.
The first part of the book places the Pope's moral theory within
a broader theological framework, attempting to identify the
overarching philosophical and theological attitudes that shape the
Pope's fundamental moral perspective. In part two, the work studies
the Pope's teaching in the areas of applied ethics. Both the major
lecturers and the respondents focus upon those areas of applied
ethics that have provoked the greatest tension between the
magisterium and the academy and between the Church and the State in
the West.
The volume concludes by presenting a homily that places the
ethics of John Paul II within a spiritual framework of repentance
and redemption. The Pope's moral teaching is not an academic survey
of ethical themes. Nor is it a Pelagian call to human
self-regeneration. The ultimate truth concerning human conduct and
moral judgment emerges only with the proclamation of God's
grace.
