The "New Evangelization"
I came across a great article today - well worth your time reading.
It's by William E. May. He's one of the leading contemporary moral theologians in the Catholic Church, particularly with regards to human sexuality and the theology of the body.
The article is called "The New Evangelization, Catholic Moral Life in Light of Veritatis Splendor and the Family." Don't be scared off by the long title. It's well worth the read. It speaks of the necessity of the new evangelization and virtue ethics in relation to the Sermon on the Mount (Beatitudes), the Ten Commandments, and baptism. It also speaks of the universal call to holiness and the role of the Christian family. It's a great read to see how and why Veritatis Splendor is relevant to the laity and in particular the domestic Church (the Christian family).
It's also not too difficult to read (at least compared to the texts from Girez or Pinckaers, two other moral theologians who have written on this topic, that I've been reading).
