The International Catholic Jurists Forum presents:

A Response to the Pontifical Academy for Life's Publication, Etica teologica della Vita. Scrittura, tradizione, sfide pratiche, December 8-10, 2022, Rome, Italy

ROME, ITALY / ACCESSWIRE / December 6, 2022 / On July 29, 2022, during his return flight from Canada to Rome, Pope Francis stated, "[T]he duty of theologians is research, theological reflection." He also noted that theologians are called to discuss various "hypotheses" among themselves while recognizing that it's up to the Magisterium to decide if certain proposals go too far.

An international group of Catholic theologians and other experts (clerics, lay men and women) are gathering in a private workshop, in Rome, from December 8 to 10, 2022. The purpose of the meeting is to engage, in a spirit of respect and fraternity, some of the issues, especially those connected with sexual morality, objective moral norms, and conscience, raised in the recent publication of the Pontifical Academy for Life entitled Etica teologica della Vita. Scrittura, tradizione, sfide pratiche, under the presidency of Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia.

The meeting, organized under the auspices of the International Catholic Jurists Forum (ICJF), is co-sponsored by Ave Maria School of Law, Ave Maria University, both based in Florida, and Ethics and Public Policy, Person & Identity Project, located in Washington, DC. Due to the interest expressed in the conference, the organizers have decided to open the gathering to the public via live stream on the website of The Daily Compass; the program, including concept note, bibliography, bios, and schedule can be found here. It is hoped that the conference will be of service to the Church and scholars, who are a facing the same doctrinal, moral, and social issues examined in Etica teologica.
