ABOUT

Explanation of Catholic Morals (also titled: Moral Briefs) (1904) was written by Rev. John Henry Stapleton.

"Morals pertain to right living, to the things we do, in relation to God and His law, as opposed to right thinking, to what we believe, to dogma. Dogma directs our faith or belief, morals shape our lives. By faith we know God, by moral living we serve Him; and this double homage, of our mind and our works, is the worship we owe our Creator and Master and the necessary condition of our salvation. "
