Whatever Happened to Sin?: Virtue, Friendship and Happiness in the Moral Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781623110093)

Most of us think morality is an unpleasant reality marked by authority, confusion and either over- simplification or too many grey areas. Yet the moral life is one of the most creative aspects of our life. It is not just what we do, but who we become as persons. It leads us to find wholeness, peace, and above all, happiness. Morality is the art of human living that draws the best out of us and brings us closer to God and to one another.This volume is intended as an introduction for thinking Catholics. It begins with a general overview of what the Catholic tradition means by "morality." It continues with chapters on sin, virtue, conscience, sexuality, friendship, liturgy, health care ethics and business ethics. It ends with a chapter on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit which in the Catholic tradition are the culmination of a life of virtue.
