In this Fundamental Moral Theology course, students will analyze the biblical foundations of what it means to be made in the Image of God, what original sin is, and examine their implications for moral reasoning. Students will evaluate the pursuit of happiness and virtue, the moral law, Beatitudes, and making critical connections to historical and theological contexts. They will synthesize theological perspectives on salvation history and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, integrating these insights into a coherent framework for moral living. Additionally, students will apply Catholic moral principles to contemporary issues such as contraception, euthanasia, gender, sexuality, life ethics, idolatry, truthfulness and homelessness, developing informed and reflective responses. By engaging with primary Catholic magisterial texts and theological discourse, students will assess the morality of moral issues and articulate their insights with intellectual rigor and pastoral sensitivity.
