| Summary |
"Explanation of Catholic Morals" by John H. Stapleton is a comprehensive exposition on Catholic moral principles, likely written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the foundations of morality as understood within the Catholic tradition, emphasizing the interplay of faith and moral action as vital to spiritual life and salvation. It seeks to clarify concepts of sin, conscience, and virtuous living through a structured approach, making Catholic teachings accessible to a wide audience. The opening portion introduces the foundational concepts of Catholic morals, explaining the relationship between belief and action. It establishes the premise that morality is not merely about faith but also about how one lives according to God's laws. The author argues that both faith and good works are essential for true adherence to moral law. Stapleton outlines that moral agency requires knowledge, free will, and the ability to choose between good and evil, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of conscience and the moral implications of human actions in subsequent chapters.
