 Morality (Latin) ”moralitas”
"manner, character, proper behavior"

…a body of standards or principles derived from a

code of conduct from a particular philosophy, religion,
or culture
…it can derive from a standard that a person believes
should be universal.

"goodness" or "rightness."
The word MORALITY
refers to the standards by
which we judge our actions to be
good or evil
and MORAL LAW
is the phrase used to describe the
objective standards authored by
God and taught by Church
authority
CHRISTIAN MORALITY
aims to help the individual
grow in the knowledge and
love of God in order to be
as Christ like as possible.
Characteristics of Christian Morality
a. Affects first the person and then the
action: morally good lives make
sense to others and are seen as
worthy of imitation.

b. Transforms first the soul and then the

moral appearance: it is evident that it
is the interior of a person, the heart,
that the moral life is forged.
c. Encompasses the attitudes of the
person: good moral habits are founded
on good personal habits.

d. Accounts for what is forbidden, but

stresses more what ought to be done:
people have the moral obligation to
avoid human sins and if possible,
prevent these evils.
e. Requires not only just
actions, but also holiness:

f. It includes both reward and

punishment: new testament
leaves no doubt that good
behavior is rewarded, and evil
ways punished.
g. It is a morality for freedom: God respects
human freedom that he will not force a person
to do something contrary to his will.

h. It is fulfilled on earth, but it pertains to the next

life: it is a mistake to think that, because we
have here no lasting city, but seek the city
which is to come, we are entitled to shirk our
earthly responsibilities.
i. Finds its beginning and end
in love: “love one another as I
have loved you “(1jn 4:7-11).

J. It finds nourishment in mass

and the sacraments: the holy
Eucharist occupies the a unique
place to which all of the other
sacraments are ordained, the
greatest treasure of the Church.
 “Lord, grant me the
serenity to accept
the things I cannot
change, the courage
to change the things I
can, and the wisdom
to know the
difference.”
