ETYMOLOGY AND DEFINITION
a. Morality is a science.
The more human knowledge expands,
the more refined mankind’s moral sense
can become.
The more we learn about ourselves, the
more we learn about what is right and
wrong.
b. Morality is concerned with what ought to be.
“The love of God has been poured out in our hearts through
the Holy Spirit who has been given to us” (Rom 5:5)

How did the different persons in the video demonstrate
morality?
Living a morally upright life
can be difficult and
challenging. But it is not
impossible. As Christians,
we believe that the grace of
God is enough to help us
overcome our weakness.
CHRISTIAN AND CATHOLIC MORALITY
WHAT IS CHRISTIAN MORALITY?
It is concerned with identifying and explaining the principles
that determine the quality of human behaviour in the light of
Christian revelation. It disposes the human person to pattern
his behaviour to the life lived by Jesus.
Ex: Christ’s life of loving and humble service to the Father
and humankind. His commandment is: “To love God and to
love one’s neighbor”
2. Christian morality is a call of the human person
to live a life of constantly following Jesus Christ.
