Forming a Catholic Conscience

Written in accord with the Catechism of the Catholic Church and rooted in the sound catechetical principles of the National Catechetical Directory, these texts present a well-defined curriculum model that stresses clear objectives, careful organization, and creative methods and evaluation procedures to check the attainment of goals. Very flexible, allowing teachers to select materials to highlight and stress, each text can be implemented on various grade levels for a quarter, a semester, or a full year depending on the length and frequency of class meetings.Grounded in scripture and church teaching, this text treats many themes and principles, and the virtues and works of mercy so necessary to living a moral life. It also employs a method that has helped thousands of contemporary students approach and solve moral problems as it addresses such issues and broad concerns as substance abuse, sexual behavior, honesty, the environment, economics, capital punishment and war and peace.Pennock, Michael is the author of 'Forming a Catholic Conscience', published 1999 under ISBN 9780877934455 and ISBN 0877934452.
