Catholic moral theology is examined, with particular attention given to the major schools of thought within the contemporary tradition.

Schools of thought examined include the new natural law (Grisez/Finnis), the critics of the new natural law (Hittinger), the proportionalists (Fuchs, McCormick), the virtue school (Pinckaers), and the narrative school (Baxter).
