This thirteenth volume in the valuable Readings in Moral Theology series brings together previously published studies presenting the spectrum of opinion on the change in official Catholic moral teachings.

The essays reflect some of the factors that have influenced these changes: the Holy Spirit; anthropological insights; prophetic witness; human experience and more.
