¿Puede una buena intención justificar un mal acto? | Catecismo en un año Ep. 179

Can one do something wrong to achieve a greater good? This is one of the most important questions in all of Christian morality. The Catechism of the Catholic Church answers with absolute clarity: no. The end does not justify the means. In this episode, we analyze paragraphs 1749–1761 of the Catechism and explain the three sources of the morality of human acts: the object, the intention, and the circumstances. We will see why a good intention does not make a bad act good, why intrinsically evil acts exist, and how this doctrine was confirmed even by the Nuremberg Tribunal after World War II. TOPICS IN THIS EPISODE • The three sources of morality: object, intention, and circumstances. • What the "object" of a moral act really means. • Why the end does not justify the means. • Intrinsically evil acts. • The role of circumstances. • Moral responsibility. • The teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas. • • The Catechism explained clearly and accessibly.
