Moral Conversion: The Agent and the Consequences of Morality According to Thomas Aquinas

Original language description

If the accountability of an acting person is reduced or even excluded because of her ignorance, good intentions, erroneous conscience, or particular circumstances of the action, and if the act itself is objectively evil, how will this evil action affect its agent? This chapter from fundamental moral theology presents the application of some main principles of Thomas Aquinas’ teaching. Evil acts fail to substantiate divine wisdom and goodness. Only good actions lead their authors to happiness. Real goodness proceeds from the communion of life with God, who infinitely happy in himself created mankind to share in his happiness.
