Title: The Catholic priest as moral teacher and guide
Description: A compilation of talks given at a 1990 symposium in Philadelphia that included some of the world's best moral theologians. The speakers include international authorities on Scripture, dogmatic theology and moral theology. Some of the paper's themes covered such areas as the Scriptural roots of moral teaching, ministerial and ecclesiological aspects of the moral teaching, crucial aspects of priestly formation, the need and importance of moral truths, and the nature of priestly life integrally linked with moral practice. The combined insights are drawn from Sacred Scripture, the Church's rich tradition, and pronouncements of the magisterium. The substantive papers are each accompanied by thoughtful and helpful responses.
