The Church's moral teaching, with the reasons behind it.
Seven sections start from whether there is a moral law at all and what makes an act good, then take up the questions people actually argue about: the body and sex, marriage, the beginning and end of life, justice and money, and how to hold a hard teaching without becoming a hard person. Every section gives the objection a fair hearing, and mercy is never far from the rule.
