Abstract "The papacy of Pope Francis has ushered in remarkable changes for the Roman Catholic Church. From a new emphasis on collegiality in ecclesial governance to a transformed set of public priorities for the global church, Pope Francis's unique model of pontifical leadership holds far-reaching implications for virtually every aspect of Catholic practice. Catholic theology is not immune, and yet Catholic moral theology-particularly in the United States-has still not grappled fully with the emphases of Francis's pontificate. To address this lacuna, the proposed edited volume brings together diverse Catholic ethicists in the United States to reflect on Pope Francis's implicit approach to moral theology in order to clearly establish the unique insights of the first Jesuit pope. Its contribution enables the "Francis revolution" to impact the practical concerns of ordinary Catholics in a more meaningful way"-- Provided by publisher.
