Five years ago I was taking a seminar course at BC called "Aquinas' Ethics" from Jim Keenan, SJ. In it we read the entire second part of the Summa Theologiae. It was the toughest and best course I took in my Master's program.
During that semester Jim was busy organizing a global conference to take place in Padua on ethics in the church. This conference was to be the first of its , bringing scholars from everywhere on the planet together for face to face meetings and presentations on the current state of ethics and moral theology.
This past week Jim pulled off his second such conference, this time in Trent, the site of the famous Council following the Reformation. I highly suggest taking the time to read through the list of papers presented at the conference on the website www.catholicethics.com. The breadth and depth of the tradition as it is being lived out in the world today is staggering and in the truest sense catholic. I am deeply grateful to Jim and the conference planners for doing so much to move the conversation forward. You can read more about the Conference on blog posts here and here.
