Joe Heschmeyer | The Moral Dilemma

What happens when doing the right thing leads to more suffering? In this episode of Logos Podcast, Joe Heschmeyer (Catholic Answers) joins us to break down one of the most challenging questions in moral philosophy: can you ever do evil so that good may come from it? We dive into the thought of philosopher Elizabeth Anscombe and explore: Why intention matters in moral decisions The problem with consequentialism Whether outcomes justify actions The morality behind real-world dilemmas like war and the atomic bomb How Catholic teaching approaches suffering, truth, and virtue This conversation challenges the modern mindset that results are all that matter and offers a deeper framework rooted in truth, conscience, and the moral life. “There may be times where… more suffering was caused by doing the right thing… and we would say: it doesn’t matter.”  Website: http://www.logos-podcast.com/ Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3PCPWBv...
