so like is the state of moral theology at this point that on one side is Rahner and Fuchs’s school in Europe and McCormick, Keenan, and maybe Gaillardetz in the US - and on the other side is like, Grisez (US) and Finnis (Europe). do people even take Grisez seriously, because my impression is that scholars [read: the jesuits] dont like him very much and his theology seems (as I can gather from secondary sources eg. lawler & salzman (I know, I know) and the journal Theological Studies) to be very defensive of status quo, if not even stricter. also I’m clearly showing my American penchant for pitting two sides against each other. also ig I wouldn’t have considered Keenan a “progressive” so much as simply a good historically-conscious scholar (there’s a new book of his that’s out on the history of catholic ethics) but he did just contribute a (rather saccharine) article to America Media’s outreach.faith so like. okay. if youre writing for America’s Outreach site you’ve ipso facto outed your views lol.

#I have like 0 formal stake in this as a non-catholic but I DO have that infatuation that Im sure is not all that rare among non-catholics.#this has to be a Type Of Guy.#Ive just started to read some Josef Fuchs and there's a lot of good stuff in there #I want to read more about McCormick's distinction between moral dogma and changeable/contingent implications #moral theology #Is America's outreach site like those Manhattan religious-run parishes that also have men's groups ie. the religious superiors dont care #so long as there's no ruckus #catholic theology #catholicism #catholic
