Description

A thoughtful reflection on how the "Francis revolution" can address the practical concerns of ordinary Catholics on a range of contemporary issues The papacy of Pope Francis has ushered in remarkable changes for the Roman Catholic Church. From a new emphasis on collegiality in ecclesial governance to a transformed set of public priorities for the global Church, Franciss unique model of pontifical leadership has far-reaching implications for virtually every aspect of Catholic practice. Catholic moral theology-particularly in the United States-has still not grappled fully with the emphases of Franciss pontificate. To address this lacuna, The Moral Vision of Pope Francis brings together a range of Catholic ethicists to reflect on Pope Franciss implicit approach to moral theology, establishing the unique insights of this first Jesuit pope. This evaluation of Pope Franciss teachings and actions draws out the moral vision animating his work and demonstrates how his moral vision should apply to Catholic ethical reflection on a range of contemporary issues. The Moral Vision of Pope Francis shows how the "Francis revolution" meaningfully addresses the practical concerns of Catholics in the United States.
