- How do we make moral decisions?
- What must be taken into account?

- Some actions are always good, some are always bad
- A moral object is good when it promotes the welfare of others and
adheres to the moral law (i.e., 10 Commandments, Gospel….)
- Must know the difference between subjective truth and objective truth

|
- When making moral decision we also look at a person’s intent
- Does the end justify the means?
- One act can have several intentions – some good, some bad
- Here we need to ask why we are performing some action

- Here we answer the questions who, where, when, how
- No circumstances can make a bad action good
