"Let him who can take it, take it."
By Thomas J. Burns
For years the old Catholic joke went something like this: more promising Church careers were wrecked on the shoals of teaching moral theology than anywhere else. In truth, the teaching of Catholic moral theology is deceptively easy and maddeningly complex: easy in that the Church since New Testament days has codified in various ways the evils of life to be avoided; complex because, like all systems of law and behavior, even an inspired Church cannot legislate for every possible existential incidence. Moreover, the mission of forgiveness of sin must share the spotlight with the mission to cultivate a virtuous life, or "to be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect."
The challenge, then, for a Catholic educator is both a definition of a moral life and the exposition of a compelling reason to live one in the Catholic tradition. Longtin and Peach have put forward an introductory text that "sets the table" for a more specific discussion of Catholic moral teaching and current research, discussion, and controversy. Despite frequent reference to the Catechetism of the Catholic Church and other magisterial teachings, the reader should not expect an overview of these sources as much as a context for them.
This work is notable for two sections that compose nearly the entire first half of the text. The first is a review of major non-Christian ethical systems, with strengths and limitations, including Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics," Kant's "categorical imperative," and an overview of the multiple branches of Utilitarianism. In addition, the authors include here a discussion of "rights theory" as conceived by John Locke and others. This overview is useful in making the case that the need for an ethical life is not simply a preoccupation of organized religion, while at the same time illustrating that each system can only take an individual so far in the development of character.
Drawing from Aristotle's teleological approach, the authors argue convincingly that the missing component of non-Christian systems is a sense of man as an eternal creature, destined for an eternity with God. It is here that we find the insertion of four modern day individuals whose drive for divine actualization takes them beyond Aristotle's contentment with the golden mean, so to speak--Dorothy Day, Martin Luther King, Ignatius of Loyola and Pedro Arrupe. These were not sinless people, but they were individuals of character whose motivation cannot be explained by reason alone.
Having laid this foundation, the text attends to the more domesticated questions of the Catholic moral tradition, addressing useful issues such as the nature of sin, the uses of Scripture in moral theology, Tradition and Magisterium, conscience, and virtue formation. As orthodox educators the authors manifest respect for Catholic methodology and conclusions; the selection of sources here draws from the Catechism, the documents of Vatican II, the instructions of recent popes, notably John Paul II, and theologian Richard Gula. A precocious student or an astute reader will probably discern between the lines areas of contemporary controversy in the sphere of moral theology, but that is less the intent of the authors than a reflection of Catholic moral theology's current state of affairs. There is reference, for example, to the use of "proof texting" and the sin of Onan without discussion of the controversy surrounding "Humanae Vitae" since 1968.
I found it somewhat amusing that there is no general agreement among the accolades on the cover as to what audience this work targets. Bishop Harry Flynn describes this text as useful for high school students; Vincent Genovesi of St. Joseph's University speaks simply of [college?] students while James DiGiacomo wishes he had access to this work while in religious formation at Woodstock! The length of chapters and various discussion questions and assignments suggests later secondary and college level audiences, though as a teacher I found the organization of material, particularly the first half of the work, as particularly useful for presentations to all student levels of proficiency. If I may indulge in some old fashioned proof texting on this matter, "Let him who can take it, take it."

Great high school resource
By Patrick Tiernan
Andrew Peach and Lucien Longtin, SJ provide a succinct but rich overview of Catholic ethics for high school students. The language is accessible yet rooted in the scholarship of secular philosophy (Aristotle, Kant, Mill) and Christian morality (Magisterium, Natural Law, Scripture). Many of the examples take their cue from cultural phenomena and invite student reflection on their own experience with ethics. The only improvements I would like to see in the text would be a more in depth explanation of contemporary ethical applications and there is a section on lives of moral exemplars (Pedro Arrupe, Martin Luther King, Jr., Dorothy Day) that seems out of place and could be used to enhance an already accessible resource for high school students. The book is a rare find for secondary classrooms since much of the current literature is either intellectually limited (i.e., parish books with poor theology) or too abstract (i.e., academic theology without concrete applications).
Overall, a great starting point for the curriculum of ethics courses!

High school Catholic ethics text
By Transcendental Thomist
Pretty good overview of the Catholic moral tradition by Professor Andrew Peach and Fr. Lucien Longten SJ, longtime theology teacher at Gonzaga High School in Washington DC. It covers everything from Aristotle and Aquinas to more contemporary outlooks in a generally readable fashion. The biggest drawbacks are the dated pop cultural references from the late 1990s and one questionable ethical call on the issue of abortion, where the text departs from Catholic teaching to suggest an acceptable way of letting a pregnancy be terminated. Without denying Catholic teaching on contraception, the text also points out that certain scriptural passages should not be used in reference to contraception, undermining the Catholic teaching a bit. Overall, a pretty good text, but it goes off the rails a bit when it tries to tackle current-day ethical dilemmas
