Catholic Morality: Finding Truth in God's Law invites students into a dynamic conversation about what it means to live a good and moral life. Presented in a dialogue format--between students, teachers, and the Church's enriching Deposit of Faith--this text fosters thoughtful engagement with real questions about moral decision-making.
Winner of a 2026 CMA Book Award from the Catholic Media Association: Morality and Ethics (First Place).
Supporting Course VI of the USCCB Curriculum Framework and other comparable courses in morality and ethics, this textbook--grounded in Scripture, classic philosophy, and the wisdom of the Church Fathers and saints--guides students toward an understanding of moral truth as objective, life-giving, and deeply connected to God's plan for human flourishing.
Topics include human dignity, sexuality, conscience, love and justice, respect for all life, care for creation, and the Church's preferential option for the poor.
