Excerpt from Explanation of Catholic Morals: A Concise, Reasoned, and Popular Exposition of Catholic Morals

The contents of this volume appeared originally in The Catholic Transcript, of Hartford, Connecti cut, in weekly instalments, from February, 1901, to February, 1903. During the course of their publica tion, it became evident that the form of instruction adopted was appreciated by a large number of read ers in varied conditions of life - this appreciation being evinced, among other ways, by a frequent and widespread demand for back-numbers of the publish ing journal. The management, finding itself unable to meet this demand, suggested the bringing out of the entire series in book-form; and thus, with very few corrections, we offer the Briefs to all desir ous of a better acquaintance with Catholic Morals.

Excerpt from Explanation of Catholic Morals: A Concise, Reasoned, and Popular Exposition of Catholic Morals

Morals pertain to right living, to the things we do, in relation to God and His law, as opposed to right thinking, to what we believe, to dogma. Dogma directs our faith or belief, morals shape our lives. By faith we know God, by moral living we serve Him; and this double homage, of our mind and our works, is the worship we owe our Creator and Master and the necessary condition of our salvation.

Faith alone will save no man. It may be convenient for the easy-going to deny this, and take an opposite view of the matter; but convenience is not always a safe counsellor. It may be that the just man liveth by faith; but he lives not by faith alone. Or, if he does, it is faith of a different sort from what we define here as faith, viz., a firm assent of the mind to truths revealed. We have the testimony of Holy Writ, again and again reiterated, that faith, even were it capable of moving mountains, without good works is of no avail. The Catholic Church is convinced that this doctrine is genuine and reliable enough to make it her own; and sensible enough, too. For faith does not make a man impeccable; he may believe rightly, and live badly. His knowledge of what God expects of him will not prevent him from doing just the contrary; sin is as easy to a believer as to an unbeliever.
