MORAL AND SPIRITUAL THEOLOGY THEO 504 Instructor: Dr. Pia de Solenni, SThD Augustine Institute Fall 2016 This course will provide students with an introduction to moral and spiritual theology in the Catholic tradition. The first part of the course will focus on moral theology, following the order of the third part of the Catechism of the Catholic Church: Life in Christ. In addition to a careful study of the moral act, topics will include: the human person, the moral law, human freedom, virtue, and bioethics. The course will also offer an emphasis on how to communicate the Church’s moral teachings. The second part of the course will focus on spiritual theology, following the fourth part of the Catechism: Christian Prayer. We will examine the universal call to prayer, different spiritual traditions in the Catholic Church, and the writings of specific saints. Both sections of the course will rely on a careful reading of select texts, including Veritatis Splendor. Additionally, both will examine contemporary challenges.
