Moral Theology in Latin America

Abstract

[Over the past several years, Latin American moral theology, in which liberation theology and its ethics play a prominent role, has been creatively developing its method and content in response to social and cultural changes. While many have incorporated the personalist approach of postconciliar moral theology, it is from the perspective of the victims that they have been addressing issues in bioethics, ecology, cultural transformation, feminist ethics, human rights, and especially the economy. Most now locate solidarity at the center of their ethic.]
