Summary:

"According to Norbert Rigali, SJ, moral theology and pastoral practice are in a complementary relationship of mutual correlation rather than in polar opposition. Jeremiah McCarthy's distinctive contribution is the recovery of a deeper strand in the Church's tradition, reconnecting moral action to the spirituality of a moral character formed in the image and likeness of Christ." Publisher, page 4 of cover.
