Traditionally, Catholic moral theology has been based upon an
approach that over-emphasized the role of normative ethics and
subsequently associated moral responsibility with following or
disobeying moral rules. Reframing Catholic Theological Ethics
offers an alternative ethical method which, without destroying any
of the valuable insights of normative ethics, reorients the
discipline to consider human motivation and intention before
investigating behavioural options for realizing one's end. Evidence
from the New Testament warrants the formation of a teleological
method for theological ethics which is further elaborated in the
approach taken by Thomas Aquinas. Unfortunately, the insights of
the latter were misinterpreted at the time of the
counter-reformation. Joseph A. Selling's analysis of moral
theological textbooks demonstrates the entrenchment of a normative
method aimed at identifying sins in service to the practice of
sacramental confession. With a firm basis in the teaching of
Vatican II, the 'human person integrally and adequately considered'
provides the fundamental criterion for approaching ethical issues
in the contemporary world. The perspective then turns to the
crucial question of describing the ends or goals of ethical living
by providing a fresh approach to the concept of virtue. Selling
concludes with suggestions about how to combine normative ethics
with this alternative method in theological ethics that begins with
the actual, ethical orientation of the human person toward virtuous
living.
