Approaches To Catholic Moral Theology
In a deontological approach, morality takes the form of a studying of "how one is to act" in relation to the laws established by the faith. In a teleological approach, "how one is to act" is related to the ultimate end which is again established by the faith. In a dialogic approach, morality follows the pattern of faith directly, the "how one is to act" is related to an encounter with God through faith.
