Morality: A Catholic View

“If you’re looking to dive deep into Catholic morality with fresh eyes, look no further than Father Servais Pinckaers’ remarkable work, *Morality: The Catholic View*. Pinckaers rejuvenates the classical understanding of morality, presenting it as a pursuit of true happiness in a way that feels both profound and accessible. He masterfully reconnects us with the essence of the Sermon on the Mount and Romans 12 through 15, alongside the insightful writings of Augustine and Aquinas, all while highlighting the vital concept of natural law.

By unraveling the layers of legalism that often obscure these texts, Pinckaers reveals their transformative, spiritual power for how we live our moral lives. He skillfully distinguishes between two types of freedom—freedom of indifference, which represents a morality of obligation, and freedom for excellence, which embodies a morality of
greatness. This distinction revitalizes our understanding of freedom itself.

No one else captures the importance of virtues as the foundational elements of morality as he does. This book is an essential study for catechists and a must-read for every Christian who seeks to truly grasp the meaning and practice of morality. Treat yourself to this enlightening journey—you won’t be disappointed!”
