About this book
Handbook Of Moral Theology
Author: Dominic M. Prümmer
Year: 1921
One fail-safe answer to all questions about Catholic morals pre-Vatican II? "Look it up in Prummer." So much did priests and seminarians depend on the four-volume original that Fr. Prummer himself penned this one-volume compendium, which became an international standard through five editions. It remains an unfailingly solid guide for confessors, spiritual directors, and laymen. In 500 packed pages, Fr. Prummer lays out the whole of Catholic moral teaching. The first part covers all questions of human conduct, broken down into these major categories: Man's ultimate end; Human actions and the passions; Law; Conscience; Sin; Virtue; Faith and contrary vices; Hope and contrary vices; Justice and contrary vices; Fortitude and contrary vices. Part Two covers the Sacraments and the moral and disciplinary matters pertaining to them.
