Fr. John Laux's timeless text thoroughly explains the philosophical and theological foundations of Catholic doctrine regarding human action, free will, the Natural Law, sin, virtue, conscience, and duties to God and neighbor. Catholic Morality provides high schoolers with a firm understanding of the principles of Catholic morality, covering a wide range of topics ranging from doubts against the Faith to evangelical counsels. Students will grasp that the basis of all divine law is the reality that God is the True, the Good, and the Beautiful. Recommended for 10th-grade students enrolled in TAN Academy's pre-conciliar Theology.
Number 3 in a Short Course in Religion. Even though the book is 80 years old it is still a good place to turn for a brief and basic coverage of the topic. Good for an intermediate primer. I would personally recommend it for children a little younger than the target High School audience, maybe 6th-7th grade. Supplemental material is needed to expand what is covered in the book, but that is stated in the book itself along with suggestions for further reading. The book succeeds in it's intended goal, a brief coverage of the topic to serve as a basis for class.
Wonderful!

This tremendous little book is the third in a series by Father John Laux in his course in religion. Here, Father John deals with the terribly important issues relative to morality in light of Catholic Truth. In the terms of philosophia perennis, we could rightly say that this volume represents Father's perspective on ethics. Father Laux writes beautifully and soulfully. Anyone truly interested in the guidance of sound ethics and in the Catholic Faith would be well served by reading carefully this excellent and extremely well written book. TAN publishers of Rockford, Illinois have made it available in convenient up-to-date paperback format. Pick up a copy, and be both enriched and well informed by Father's wonderful book.
