Under the patronage of St. Alphonsus Liguori, Doctor of the Church

Morals of the Church — a library of classic manuals of Catholic moral theology in English.

Texts presented for study and reference. In whatever touches your own conscience, seek out a confessor and the spiritual guidance of a priest — as the manuals themselves counsel: “If a person has time to resolve his hesitation, he should not trust to common sense, but should consult moral theology, if he is competent to understand and apply it, or should have recourse to his confessor, if he is not a theologian” (McHugh–Callan, n. 656).
