On Tuesday 27th April 2022, a moral case study concerning liberty and conditioning regarding the human moral act was presented by seminarian Anthony Joe Borg. This moral case study was presented as part of the Moral Theology course entitled “Human Moral Act”, whose lecturer is Mgr. Anton Borg.
First, the case was read, and it was about a female youth who started taking drugs after a relationship breakup. Her friends argued about how free she was to decide to start using drugs. Following the reading of the case, seminarian Borg presented his paper as an answer. He started by presenting the teachings of the Catechism of the Catholic Church on the human moral act. This was followed by presenting the role of the conscience in the human moral act, including the particular aspects of an individual’s character. Finally, seminarian Borg mentioned accidental conditioning with the human act.
This moral case study was attended by seminarians, formators, and priests from the Diocese of Gozo.
