Here is the book that shows you the road to happiness through the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas and Aristotle. It proves the relationship between the science of faith and human reason and how the truth will set you free in the hereafter and now. This book is invaluable for anyone who wants a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental principles of Catholic moral teaching. In these powerful pages, Fr. Mullady unpacks how the Church is called to help form the culture and not vice versa. He explains a spectrum of truths, from man's ultimate end, to the role of the will, to conscience and responsibility, to types of sins, virtues, and laws, and ultimately, to grace. Fr. Mullady soundly refutes relativism and explains the consistency in Church teachings using examples, such as Her teachings on birth control and capital punishment. He explains the connection between the intellect, the will, and the passions. He shows how moral teaching and theology must include a healthy respect for the law while encouraging interior formation in love, which the truth of the law seeks to foster. You will come to understand how authentic Catholic teaching applies to writings ranging from Karl Rahner's works to Pope Francis' Amoris Laetitia in light of the Catechismof the Catholic Church and St. John Paul II's Veritatis Splendor. From the sentimental morality in Hume's philosophy to the dutiful morality in Kant's, you will see how these philosophies led to errors in thinking from hedonism to voluntarism to rationalism. Moreover, you will learn about the correct understanding of the formation of passions and freedom and discover: The "feet" of the soul (and how to use them!) Two passions that aid in the attainment of a desired good Four qualities of actions subject to moral responsibility Aquinas's six arguments about what satisfies our intellect The key truth denied in modern psychology that leads to immorality Four reasons why human destiny cannot exist in exterior goods

In this powerful and reassuring book, Fr. Brian Mullady examines the nature of a healthy Christian emotional life, and ultimately provides the Catholic answer to the problematic theories of Sigmund Freud.

Perfect holiness is not only possible but essential if we wish to achieve eternal life. That's why Fr. Mullady has written this accessible and practical guide - to help you understand how grace is working in your life presently and to teach you how to seize all the unclaimed graces God is offering you throughout each day.

There has been a lamentable devaluing of the mystery of Jesus in the Church over the past half decade. Jesus is often seen as just a good man who is identified with God in some way. This has led some to teach that Jesus simply learned like any other man and had to discover he was the Messiah through investigation. In this remarkable book, Fr. Brian Mullady offers a robust defense of Jesus Christ as the only Son of God, fully man and fully God. He makes clear the Church's teachings on the Incarnation, why Christ had to come to redeem the world and why He had to die on the cross, and the critical role He must play in your own spiritual growth.
