CFE 2: Christian Morality in our Times Book of Genesis 1:27
“God created man in his image; in the divine image
BASIC ASSUMPTIONS OF MORALITY
Human Person as a Moral Agent
1. As a Creation of God (Human person is a Subject,
Human person as an embodied Subject)
- the person is in charge of his/her own life
Human person - conscious
- Act according to his (conscience, freedom,
and with knowledge / responsible manner)
* no one may ever use a human person as an object
or as a means to an end the way we do
- Not freedom TO CHOOSE
Freedom TO BE
- accept oneself and to become oneself
“Person is a Creation of God”
God - source and ground of the person’s being
Creation - not a God (diyos-diyosan)
Who/what is creating the person?
- Technology
- Mass Media
- Money (PERAsonality)
2. As an image and Likeness of God (unique, believer,
redeemed by Jesus, temple of the Holy Spirit)
- essential dimensions of being a human
person
- know and worship God
* do not lie in our ignorance, the fact that we
encounter certain phenomena whose causes we
cannot determine for the present.(huwag
magpapadala sa ating kamangmangan dahil may
mga sitwasyon na hindi tayo sigurado)
“Person is made in God’s image and likeness”
Person- made in God’s basic characteristic(His
Goodness)
-every person by nature is Good
How come that at the present we experience the
evilness and cruelty of the world?
- Oppression (pang-aapi)
- Exploitation (pagsasamantala)
- Poverty (Kahirapan)
3. As a Social Being (Human Person is essentially inter
relational with other human persons, Human Person
are interdependent social beings)
- We are all members of the human species.
*Fundamental equality as members of the one
species goes hand in hand with uniqueness as
individuals within that species
“Person is a social being”
Ex. female and the male
- Adam and Eve display a form of partnership
and companionship
How are we relating with the other?
- Objectification -that the other person is a
utility
4. As a steward (Human person is Part of the Material
world, Human Person is a historical being)
- as body persons we are part of the material
world.
- created in God’s image with the mandate to
bring the earth under human control
- we can act as co-agents with God to make
the world a continuously more livable place
“Person is a steward of God”
Steward – a co-creator of God
God had given us the trust to continue the
act of creation (dominion)
Are we really God’s co-creator?
- Domination over creation
BASIC CONCEPTS OF MORALITY
A. Definition of Morality
he created him; male and female he created them.”’
- we are created in his image
- dignity, we are social being/ like God we are
intellectual being
Image and likeness of God: the human person is
bestowed with knowledge and free will Knowledge
and free will: two faculties that we use to
determine/decide our actions.
free will - ability to choose what is good and
what is wrong, you can’t use it without your
knowledge
knowledge and free will = action
we should be injected with philosophical
principle - apply the standards of our
actions = living with moral life
Is Morality important?
- Morality is important to develop our faith.
How to become moral?
- If we live our lives patterned after the life of Jesus
and when we follow the teachings of the Catholic
Church.
What do we need so that we can respond the challenge for
us to be moral?
1.) a clear understanding of what morality is.
2.) unlearn all misconceptions about morality.
Action = appropriate/ necessary in certain situations
Morality
- serves as the primary force for all of our actions as
individuals or as a member of a particular society.
It takes the vital role in:
- formulating
- establishing
- setting
- ethical norms of conduct that govern behavior and
actions. In order to maintain harmony, unity and in
the society.
Ethics - Greek: Ethos customary
Morality - Latin: Mos(Mores) behavior
ETHICS
- Systematic study of the rightness and wrongness of a
human action.
- The science of “morals”
- Provide systems of moral principles and the reasons
why these principles are valid
- Killing is wrong because it violates the basic ethical
principles of “respect for persons” or “non-
maleficence”
Basic Ethical Principles
a. Respect for persons
b. Truthfulness and Confidentiality
c. Autonomy and Informed Consent
d. Beneficence
e. Non- maleficence
f. Justice
MORALITY
- the rightness and wrongness of a human action.
- The practice of “ethics”
- Refers to principles of right and wrong behavior or
rightness and wrongness of human actions
- In determining the morality of human actions, the
moral agent is guided by the broader rules or
principles of ethics.
- “Do not kill” because it is wrong
TWO FORMS: MORALITY
1. DESCRIPTIVE MORALITY- the standard of conduct
which is the law is exclusive and applicable only to a certain
society.
EXAMPLE:
➔ Eating of pork or “dinuguan” Lev. 11:1-47 Mk. 7:1-
23
 ➔ wearing pants for women
➔ monogamy = Christians
➔ polygamy = Muslims
2. NORMATIVE MORALITY - the standard of conduct
which is the law is a universal guide to govern the behavior of
all rational persons.
➢ Morality is science concerned about what ought to
be (norms); judging right and wrong in light of who
we are; dealing with free human conduct in light of
revelation; summed up by the word responsibility
B. Misconceptions on Morality
- unlearn some existing misconceptions on morality
➢ Morality is a matter of opinion.
➢ All opinions about morality are equal and
correct.
○ the measure of moral evaluation is
man. One’s personal belief is enough to
judge the goodness and badness of a
certain act. “kung ano sa tingin ko ang
tama(mabuti), yun ang tama (mabuti).”
○ no universal rule that is applicable to
all human being
●
These are WRONG
because NOT ALL
OPINIONS are correct.
➢ Morality is outside the world of “practical
people.”
○ Survival is the key. E.g. “Love versus
Economic stability”, “Cheat – honesty
and diligence.”
○ No material progress if you are moral.
E.g. “corruption” “business self
serving enterprise” -
○ Morality produces inconvenience
■This is wrong because one
can be practical and moral
at the same time.
Becoming rich is not our
sole purpose, is a fruit of
our labor. Wealth is tied
with patient, hard work
and faith
➢ Morality develops guilt and moral obligation
that makes life miserable.
○ morality removes the sense of
“enjoyment of sin”.
○ morality produces inconvenience and
suffering.
■ This is wrong because
morality guides us to our
real and proper goal in
life. (Cheat to finish the
subject/school versus Study
well to learn, be educated.)
➢ Morality is centered only on the act itself
setting aside the circumstances and intention
behind the action
○ Morality judges on ‘face-value’ only,
i.e. the ACTION only.
■ This is wrong because
Moral Judgment is done
by looking at the ACT, the
INTENTION of the Agent
and the
CIRCUMSTANCES
surrounding the Act and
the Agent.
C. Object of Morality
- it covers the human acts, not the acts of man
Object – is the main concern of Morality
1. HUMAN ACT: (GAWAING PANTAO)
➔ are those which man performs knowingly,
freely, and voluntarily. These actions are the
result of conscious knowledge and are
subject to the control of the will. These
actions are deliberate, intentional or
voluntary.
➔ Within our control
➔ is any thought, act, word
➔ that is done with full knowledge. “Alam
Niya.”
➔ the person is free to do it. “Hindi siya
pinuwersa.”
➔ the person does it (did it) intentionally or
voluntarily. “Nais talaga niyang gawin.”
EXAMPLE:
- breathing
- Digestion
- circulation of air in the body
2. ACTS OF MAN:
➔ are instinctive and are not within the control
of the will. Such are the biological and
physiological movements in man such as
metabolism, respiration, fear, and anger.
➔ Out of control
EXAMPLE:
- sweating while exercising
- getting nervous when reciting
Difference between Human Act & Acts of Man
Determinants Human Act Act of Man
Knowledge/ Use of intellect YES NO
Presence of Free Will YES NO
Conscious Process YES NO
D. Constituents of Human Acts
1. There must be knowledge of the Human Act
- performed by the moral agent who is aware of what
he/she is doing and of its consequences.
2. Human acts are free
- free from internal/ external forces. No force from
within and without that prevents the person to
commit/omit a Human act.
3. Voluntariness
- resolution/willingness to perform the act here and
now, or in some future time.
KNOWING, FREE, AND WILLFUL
- The absence of any of these attributes renders the act
defective and less voluntary
Norms of Morality (Law & Conscience)
1. Good Action + Good Intention= Moral/ Good
2. Good Action + Bad Intention= Immoral/ Bad
3. Bad Action + Good Intention= Immoral/ Bad
4. Indifferent Act + Good Intention= Moral/ Good
5. Indifferent Act + Bad Intention= Immoral/ Bad
● Indifferent Act- may be morally good or bad
(it depends on the intention)
E. Determinants of the Morality of a Human Act
1. Object/Act:
- the basic factor of morality.
- it is where the moral goodness of an act depends.
- refers to the human act performed by the agent.
- it is either good (moral), bad (immoral), indifferent
(neutral).
- Ano ang kanyang ginawa/nagawa?
ACTION/Object - DIRECT EFFECT
1. Stealing- Loss of Property of another
2. Cheating- Getting a grade you do not deserve
3. Sex- Arousal & Pleasure for the partners
4. Studying- Gaining knowledge
2. Intention or End
- the reason or purpose behind one’s action or acting.
- also known as Motive or Purpose.
- Ano ang dahilan kung bakit niya ginawa?
- This can modify human actions.
“nakapagbabago sa anyo ng gawaing pantao.”

a. Sharing food – to cheat during exam
