Addressing Moral Confusion

by Richard May

The goal of this workbook is to help our youth to receive catechetical instruction without getting bogged down by the mindset of the world today, thereby enabling them to be more open to the truth of the Gospel of Christ and His Church. It uniquely addresses these challenges, drawing from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, as well as great theologians and philosophers including C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Fulton Sheen, St. John Cardinal Newman and others knowledgeable in moral psychology and human behavior.

Age group: High school and young adults especially those already enrolled in institutions of higher learning. Not all of them may be practicing Christians. It should be of interest to all teachers including those that are currently working with younger age groups. Parents will also benefit from the material and convey basic themes … example, Session One: “Should you believe everything you hear?

TESTIMONIALS

“Rich May’s book entitled Addressing Moral Confusion should be a widely used tool that can help young people today navigate our fractured world. I recommend it to all who are charged with sharing the truth of Jesus Christ with the next generation.” – Bishop Joseph E. Strickland, Bishop Emeritus, Diocese of Tyler, Texas

“In Addressing Moral Confusion, Rich May responds to various forms of moral relativism and ‘group thinking’ that are prevalent in the world today. Drawing upon logic, the natural law, Scripture, and Catholic tradition, he exposes the fallacious arguments used to defend abortion, gender ideology, and other harmful movements. Even those who might dispute certain matters of empirical data will benefit from this book. Rich May not only provides moral arguments; he also incorporates prayers and devotions—especially to the Virgin Mary—that support wisdom, virtue, and holiness.” – Dr. Robert Fastiggi, Professor of Dogmatic Theology, Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit

“In a world with so much confusion, Addressing Moral Confusion provides the reader with the tools to engage the errors and challenges the faithful are facing.” – I. Aguilera, Principal, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School, Houston, TX

“As a homeschool parent who has taught my children from K to 12, I have found Rich May’s Teachers Workbook to be an excellent, concise and engaging teaching resource that should be used in every school curriculum.” –  F. Dunne, Homeschool Parent

“Rich May’s genius for clarity and timeliness is demonstrated through the scholarly and well-informed portrayal of these critical issues, the necessity for us to grasp and understand the issues, and the motivation for us to take zealous action! Well Done! Highly recommended!!” – R. Lochner, USMC retired, Catholic Educator and Author

“As a parish educator, I believe Addressing Moral Confusion fills a profound void in Catholic moral instruction for youth by giving young Catholics the foundational moral principles, fundamental truths, and intellectual tools with which to understand the reality of absolute moral truth as taught by the Catholic Church and to recognize the counterfeit morality of today’s modern, secular culture.” – J. Barros, Retired Director of Parish Faith Formation

“This is Moral teaching at its finest.  Each chapter in itself is foundational, yet each chapter builds on the previous foundational chapter so that what you end up with is a solid understanding of God’s Truth as it pertains to Moral Law.  These are truly solid building blocks that could be used in any Catholic teaching program.” – K. Kerne, Catholic Catechist

“Rich May has written a manual to stress and arrest the dire circumstances that are swiftly losing a whole generation of children trapped in social and cultural milieus that are fast bankrupting themselves of every traditional moral and spiritual rectitudes, and systematically capitalizing on the children’s vulnerability to feed them with the worst forms of relativisms ever known in human history.” – Fr. R. Nwankwo, PhD
