In this collection of essays written about Pope Saint John Paul II's encyclical Veritatis Splendor, leading seminary professors reflect upon the nature of what moral goodness is in relation to pastoral formation and leadership. The content of the book celebrates the encyclical's thirtieth anniversary by highlighting the topics of the formation of conscience, the reality of objective morality, the necessity of pastoral accompaniment, and the controversial existence of intrinsic evils. The book will aid seminary professors and seminarians in their moral formation and will aid pastors as they guide the consciences of their parishioners.
