1 FUNDAMENTAL MORAL THEOLOGY Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley James T. Bretzke, S.J. CE 2056; Spring 1998 Class: Tuesdays 8:10-1 1:00AM Office Hours: MonlTues/ 3:00--4:30 (Other times by appointment) Office phone: or Course Description This one-semester course is designed as an introduction to fundamental moral theology in the Roman Catholic tradition. The principal themes to be treated include: The Nature of, and a Methodological Model for Approaching Fundamental Moral Theology; An Historical Overview of Casuistry and Pre-Vatican II Moral Theology; The Moral Person and Moral Community; The Christian Vocation: Call and Response; Conscience and the Fundamental Option; Moral Norms and the Natural Law; Virtue and Teleology; Evaluations of Moral Acts; Sin, Conversion and Reconciliation; Roles of the Magisterium; Current Tensions in Moral Theology, and Prospects for the Future. Selected issues in special ethics, especially from areas of sexual and medical ethics will be discussed in terms of applying the fundamental themes of moral theology to practical life situations. The course format will be lecture and questions based on both lecture input and the course readings. Small discussion groups, focusing on sexual and biomedical ethics, will be held a few times in place of the regular class during the second half of the semester. Course written assignments and exams The mid-term exam will be a 20 minute oral exam based on the course lectures, readings, and one (1) case study prepared and submitted in advance by the student. The final exam will be a closed book three-hour comprehensive written exam held during the final class session. In addition, at the time of the final exam two (2) additional case studies are to be handed in. Each case study will be a maximum of four (4) typed pages, double-spaced, and will detail the principal moral issues involved as well as an outline of a proposed pastoral response to the case treated. Examples of the case studies will be provided in class well before each exam. Course Grading Three principal factors will be taken into consideration for the final grade for the course: 1) careful preparation of the assigned readings and active participation in each of the class meetings (40%); 2) the case study and oral mid-term (25%); and 3) the case studies and written final exam (35%).
