“Almost twenty years ago now, Pope John Paul II issued an encyclical, Veritatis Splendor, on how Catholics understand the moral life. It might be a good time to take another look back at some of things that he said.
“He started with a great summary sentence: ‘The splendor of truth shines forth in all the works of the Creator and, in a special way, in man, created in the image and likeness of God’ (cf. Gen 1:26).”
In a recent commentary, Father Bevil Bramwell, OMI, offered a reflection on Veritatis Splendor and its message for us as we try to live moral lives.
