Sean Fagan / What Happened to Sin? (Large Paperback)

Product Description

Over forty years ago Pope Paul VI published his encyclical Humanae Vitae, which thousands of conscientious married Catholics experienced as a crucifying experience, an agony of conscience for which clergy could do nothing to help them. But from the sufferings of those forty years they learned to question church teaching and to trust their personal experience and their God-given intelligence to discover that there is no convincing reason to justify the ban on contraception. The central chapter of Sean Fagan's book What Happened to Sin? explains how this has come about. It is a masterly analysis of this major problem under the heading How Sinful is Sex? which not only discusses in detail the specific question of contraception and responsible parenthood, but outlines an attractive and convincing theology of sex to counterbalance the church's appalling treatment of it down through the centuries. The book is basically a summary of fundamental moral theology, explaining the meaning of morality, the role of the Bible, the importance of conscience, the function of law, forms of guilt, God's forgiveness, the after-life, and person-centred responsibility.
