Fr. Kevin O’Neil is a Redemptorist moral theologian who has taught at the Catholic University of America and offered sessions and courses all over the world.
Pope St. John Paul II once described the moral life as our response to the many acts of love that God has taken on our behalf. We have been gifted with freedom to respond to the love of God and moral theology is a discipline to assist us in living the moral life. During our days together we will study the building blocks of moral theology such as freedom, character, human dignity, sin and conversion. We will also examine the criteria for judgments of right and wrong and how that is reflected in Church teaching. Finally, we will review the process for the formation and exercise of conscience. In the end we hope to have greater clarity about what we are free for and how our moral theological tradition can guide along the right path.
