• W1595196268 abstract "This essay discusses the pedagogical aims of college courses in theological ethics. Is historical representation of the ideas, debates, and ecclesial controversies that found Christian thought satisfactory in teaching moral theology or social ethics, or does there need to be a more practical focus, such as making an authentically Christian decision? The pragmatism of my students leans me to the latter, while my own love for the controversy and power of an idea motivates the former. In this essay, I propose that there is a certain “doing” of Christian ethics—a praxis—that is essential to grasping the substance of Christian ethics. Indeed, I will argue that the theological good that grounds Christian ethics necessarily transports the student beyond a narrow view of self and world to become amazed by the mystery of human existence. While knowledge of church teaching (i.e., its historical rationale and ethical import), good moral reasoning, and moral development might well increase through a course in moral theology, the heart of Christian ethics lies in the encounter of conscience that comes by engaging the gospel, creed, and liturgies of the Church, what Dennis O’Brien calls the “Christian icons of salvation.” 1 This is what teaching Christian ethics is ultimately all about. My inquiry is in relation to the core curriculum at Catholic institutions of higher education. The core enjoys a distinctive pride of place at the Catholic school. 2 Since Vatican II, the aspiration of Catholic educational institutions has been “to envision, anticipate, and assist in bringing about a new human family”—not, however, by making the world the Church, but by striving “to be a budding forth of the future wholeness that God intends for all peoples.” 3 I view the teaching of theological ethics against the background of this aspiration, which itself is a direct consequence of “the light and love that come from faith [that] constitute[s] the originating value of the Church’s institutions.” 4 The aim of teaching theological ethics in the core curriculum of a Catholic institution of higher learning is not to “make Catholics” or strengthen the faith lives of Christians, though such may well happen and, if it does, reflects the activity of grace. The aim is rather to examine human agency in view of God, i.e., the theological good, which calls students to engage the struggle of authentic belief and freedom. What this kind of teaching requires of a teacher is to moderate this encounter with self through the Christian icons of salvation in a way that respects the freedom and intellectual pilgrimage of the individual learner." @default.
