Living the Good Life

In the Catholic Church, faith is not something you simply profess on Sundays and then put into a box until you come back the next week. In the Catholic faith, upholding human dignity, caring for others, and living a righteous life are all part of the package. Faith is not meant to be lived only inside churches, but is meant to be lived outside in the world.

In the coming chapters, we will first look at morality in general—virtue and vice, free will, conscience, sin—and we will look at our role in caring for others. Then we will tackle the Ten Commandments, no small feat.
