Abstract

One of the peripheral lessons of the previous chapter is that diversity reigns within unity in contemporary Roman Catholic moral theology. As the next three chapters will illustrate, diversity may well be said to have the upper hand in contemporary Protestant ethics. Richard McCormick, as we have seen, has been criticized by many of his fellow Catholic moralists for rejecting so many of the tradition’s moral ‘absolutes.’ Paul Ramsey, the Protestant ethicist to be considered in this chapter, has been criticized by many of his peers for accepting too many moral absolutes and insisting upon their quasi-casuistical application.
