This course seeks to provide both an historical and a systematic overview of the development of sexual ethics within the Catholic tradition. The course presumes that one has completed at least an introductory course in Christian ethics at the graduate level. While 'hot button issues' will surface during the semester, the critical purpose of the course is to assist students in forming moral arguments, engaging discussions on emerging issues, and placing debates within their historical context, including their contemporary context. All students will at the end of the course be expected to have a firm grasp of the ethical teaching of the Church, including knowledge of key magisterial documents.
