Nobody Likes a Moral Theologian

When people find out that I am a moral theologian, they usually respond in one of two ways: they either get uncomfortable and feel judged or they get weirdly excited about hearing my take on some obscure, far-fetched moral dilemma. Both reactions indicate a huge misunderstanding of what moral theology is all about. I can’t blame them, because I used to think the same way. In this talk, I will share my own shift in thinking about the Catholic Church’s moral teaching and why I decided to dedicate my life to sharing it with others.
