Who Am I to Judge?

Who Am I to Judge? Dr. Edward Sri offers insights into the beauty of the Catholic moral worldview, and shows why this view is superior to relativism.

Questions Covered:

• 17:03 - I see how there’s a problem with “same-sex marriage” and the Bible speaks against it, but many just don’t listen to us. How do we talk to others about this without being hurtful?
• 20:30 - My sister was recently married in the Church, after a civil marriage. My brother-in-law is going through RCIA. The priest did not require him to go to confession before receiving communion at the wedding. I was not comfortable with this, but don’t want to be judgmental. Is this a real concern, or something to be decided within a diocese? 
• 27:56 - What is the Catholic moral view on surrogacy?
• 31:50 - Is there a distinction between the Catholic moral view and Aristotle’s ethics? If there is, does the world reject Aristotle’s ethics in the same way as the Catholic moral view?
• 35:27 - What does the Church teach as far as assisted suicide and suicide in general?
• 43:55 - What is the difference between the classical view and the Catholic view of virtue? What books can you recommend to study the Catholic view of virtue?
• 47:34 - My daughter just brought home a slide from a teacher at her Catholic high school. It states that to determine whether or not an action is a sin it must meet the following: be wrong, you know it’s wrong, you intentionally do it anyway. What is your take on this?
• 52:25 - How did Moral Relativism become so mainstream? Was it a slow process?
