QUOTATIONS: Moral Doctrine

As this Pope [i.e. Pope John Paul II] has affirmed again and again, revealed moral doctrine is truly doctrine of the faith. What is at stake is infinitely more than intramural squabbles between liberals and conservatives, progressives and traditionalists. What is at stake is whether people understand that they are invited to the high moral drama of Christian discipleship, of living in the truth. Souls are at stake. And if we do not believe that souls are at stake, we must seriously ask ourselves what business we think we are in.

--Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, 'To Propose The Truth'
