Ethics - theology notes

Even to be morale, we require the notion of sensitivity. It begins in the heart not with abstract principles. …Morality begins with notions of value: The sacredness of persons; sacredness of life (appreciation) - All that God created was good and sacred. ….Morality is affective, intuitive, imaginative, somatic. Sensitivity attuned to God. —-Reality and mystery (Incarnational principle) - St Thomas Aquinas raised what the Church has never done before and separate. ——Bringing foundational values to practical situations. ——What best befits the person in all their sacredness. ——Morality is thus about love (parable of good samaritan)(love is always a decision). ——empathy (Carol Gilligan) ——The practice of the presence of God. ——Prayer ——Prayerful attention to the presence of God in the Ordinary, diverse experiences of daily living. ——Reading the signs of the times. ——Fullness of relationship. ——to be attuned to one’s heart; rules alone are inadequate for moral judgement and action. to be continued with "A need for Reflection" (I took three ethics courses - one being theological)
