July 1, 2018 – Remembering a Foundational Teaching: “Malum In Se”

https://www.catholicjournal.us/2018/06/28/remembering-a-foundational-teaching-malum-in-se/

Of course, the principle of “malum in se” has implications beyond abortion and adultery. It has implications for contraception, in vitro fertilization, the cloning of human beings, the protection of conscience rights, and more. In all these areas, the objectivity of moral principles will give way to the relativism of subjective preferences if we disregard the Church’s wise teaching of “malum in se.” So the next time you are tempted to justify an action that is intrinsically immoral, remember that God is always good and is, in fact, the highest good, and would never ask you to do evil, no matter how much good comes from it.
