Morality of Human Acts.pptx
- 1. The morality of human acts CCC 1749 - 1761
- 3. Freedom makes man a moral subject. When he actsdeliberately, man is, as it were, the father of his acts. Human acts, that is, freely performed after a judgment of
- 4. I.- The sources of morality The morality of human acts depends: 1 - of the chosen object; 2 - of the end that is soughtor the intention; 3 - of the circumstances of the action. The object, the intention and the circumstances form the "sources" or constitutive elements of the morality of human acts. - 1750.
- 5. The chosen object is a good towards which the will deliberately tends. It is called the matter of a human act.
- 6. The chosen object morally specifies the act of wanting, depending on whether reason recognizes it and judges it to be in accordance or not in accordance with the true good. Indiana Jones
- 7. The objective rules of morality state the rational order of good and evil, attested by conscience. 1751
- 8. In front of the object, the intention belongs to the acting subject. The intention, because it is linked to the voluntary source of the action and because it is determined by reason of the end, is an essential element in the moral qualification of the action. Gollum in “Lord of the Rings” The end is the first term of the intention and designates the objective sought in the action. Intention is a movement of the will towards an end; look at the end of the work. It points to the expected good of the action undertaken.
- 9. It is not limited to the direction of each of our actions taken in isolation, but can also order several actions towards the same goal; can direct all life towards the ultimate goal.
- 10. For example, a service that is done to someone has the purpose of helping others, but it can be inspired at the same time by the love of God as the ultimate goal of all our actions.
- 11. The same action can therefore be inspired by several intentions, such as doing a service to obtain a favor or to satisfy vanity. 1752
- 12. A good intention (for example: helping others) does not make behavior in itself disordered (such as lying and swearing) neither good nor fair. Fr. Bob testifies in “Sleepers”
- 13. The end does not justify the means. Thus, the conviction of an innocent cannot be justified as a legitimate means of saving the people.
- 14. On the contrary, a superimposed bad intention (such as vainglory) turns into evil an act that, in itself, can be good (such as almsgiving). 1753 PHARISEE + PUBLICAN
- 15. Circumstances, including consequences, are the secondary elements of a moral act. They contribute to aggravate or diminish the moral goodness or badness of human acts (for example, the amount of money stolen). OLIVER TWIST
- 16. They can also mitigate or increase the liability of works (such as acting out of fear of death). VERTICAL LIMIT
- 17. Circumstances cannot by themselves modify the moral quality of acts; they cannot make either good or just an action that in itself is bad. 1754.
- 18. II.- Good acts and bad acts - The morally good act presupposes both the goodness of the object, the end and the circumstances. A bad purpose corrupts the action, even if its object is good (such as praying and fasting "to be seen by men"). A pharisee prays in the town square.
- 19. The object of the choice can by itself vitiate the whole act. There are specific behaviors -such as fornication- that it is always a mistake to choose them, because their choice involves a disorder of the will, that is, a moral evil. 1755.
- 20. It is therefore wrong to judge of the morality of human acts considering only the intention that inspires them or the circumstances (environment, social pressure, coercion or need to act, etc.) that are their framework.
- 21. There are acts that, by themselves and in themselves, regardless of the circumstances and intentions, that are always seriously illicit by reason of their object; HOLODOMOR, RUSIA KMER ROUGE, CAMBODIA ARMENIA, TURQUIA RWANDA UGANDAN MARTYRS RWANDA, TUTSI FLEE HUTUS
- 22. for example, blasphemy and perjury, murder and adultery. AUSCHWITZ KATYN, MASSACRE OF POLISH GENERALS
- 23. It is not allowed to do evil to obtain good. 1756.
