Moral Law

According to the Holy Bible, man is naturally evil. Psalm 51:5 states, ”Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.” As a result, man is selfish, lustful, jealous, envious, divisive, deceitful, malicious, insolent, arrogant, boastful, senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless, slanderous, and full of gossip. Even human actions that seem good on the surface are often tainted by evil.

There is a ‘difference, both anthropological and moral, between contraception and recourse to the rhythm of the cycle: it is a difference which is much wider and deeper than is usually thought, one which involves in the final analysis two irreconcilable concepts of the human person and human sexuality’ (St. John Paul II, Familiaris Consortio, 32). Human Nature: Moral Norm wades through a cultural mixture of challenging ideas which are either turning to sludge or starting to make sense, as if coming into clear water, enabling the whole book to find its central focus: Is it true that the ...

What happens when human beings are created with powerful needs, commanded to suppress them, and then made to feel guilty for struggling? Created Guilty examines one of the most uncomfortable questions in Christian theology: whether certain religious rules can be reconciled with the human nature God is said to have created. Rather than assuming that every desire is morally permissible, it carefully distinguishes between rules that protect others from violence, coercion, exploitation, and betrayal and prohibitions that restrict legitimate human goods without preventing comparable harm. At the...

Public life now runs on outrage, accusation, and moral escalation. Speech is policed, standards are contested, and conflicts are framed through harm and victimhood.

Why do online debates escalate instantly into denunciation and public shaming? Why is free speech increasingly framed as harm? Why do institutions respond to conflict by managing feelings rather than enforcing standards? Why are social disputes so ...
