This autumn I am giving presentations to all the high school teachers, staff and administrators in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. These talks take place on an annual basis, and they are dedicated to a regular cycle of topics.
This year, the theme is morality. Lucky me! My guess is that disquisitions on doctrine or Church history or pastoral practice wouldn’t raise too many hackles, but ethics is practically guaranteed to rile people, especially now when issues of same-sex marriage, transgenderism and assisted suicide are so present in the public consciousness.
