"MORAL THEOLOGY OR RESOLUTION OF
CASES OF CONSCIENCE ACCORDING TO HOLY SCRIPTURE, THE CANONS & THE HOLY
FATHERS"
This book of1715 is a significant work in the genre of moral
theology, authored during the Enlightenment period in France. This book addresses
the complex subject of moral decision-making within the Christian context,
focusing on resolving various cases of conscience through interpretations
grounded in Scripture, ecclesiastical law (canons), and teachings of the Church
Fathers. It represents a scholarly effort to integrate religious doctrine with
everyday ethical dilemmas, providing guidance to clergy and laity alike on how
to navigate moral challenges according to the principles of Christianity. The
work is characteristic of the era's intellectual movement towards systematizing
religious knowledge and making it accessible and applicable to the broader
societal and personal issues. This volume likely served as a vital resource for
priests and moral theologians in offering pastoral care and making theological
education more practical and relevant to the needs of the faithful.
