Abortion, euthanasia, homosexual marriage, and socialized medicine are all commonplace today, and are increasingly sanctioned by civil law – even in historically Catholic nations. Fr. Brian Mullady, O.P., tackles the issue, "Should law implement morality or not?" in these sharp pages. He compiles a collection of simple solutions to a variety of topics about spiritual and moral theology.

Part 1 will teach you about the nature of society and social order principles as they relate to the three main human societies: the family, the state, and the Church. You will also discover the foundation for the Church's teachings and how they apply to real-life events.

Part 2 will provide the Catholic view of how the most fundamental human communities — the family and the state — must achieve their objectives. Fr. Mullady explains the one good that is at the basis of all social order by drawing on Scripture and Tradition, early thinkers, and the saints. He also opens up:

The twofold aspect of human nature and the three levels of action
Four ways in which people should rule in a society, according to St. Thomas Aquinas
Ten principles for the Christian idea of social order
The real meaning of social participation (Do you know it?)
The proper relationship between authority and conscience — both in the Church and in civil society
The five rights and duties that the Church teaches in the economic order

Fr. Mullady goes on to describe the perils of both liberal capitalism and Marxism. You will also learn about the spiritual soul's uniqueness in the person and how virtues such as wisdom, justice, and compassion must rule society. Above all, you will learn how to live your life in Christ, regardless of your profession, in order to achieve personal satisfaction.
