Adult Studies - Who Am I to Judge?
Who Am I to Judge?
This study has been crafted to help give participants the Catholic moral worldview.
- We will explore the classical view of morality and the kind of life that flows out of that worldview
- - a life of purpose, loving relationships, and ultimate fulfillment.
- We will then contrast this classical worldview with the moral relativism and examine the short comings of this modern way of approaching morality.
- This study will offer participants several practical tools for talking about morality in a clearer, more compelling, and compassionate way.
