Veritatis Splendor (The Splendor of Truth)
Pope John Paul II 1993 Encyclical Letter on Truth shows with wonderful clarity how we can know the truth and follow it. This historic encyclical deals with the principles of Christian morality. Beginning with the fundamental question of what is good and evil, the Pope shows the solid ground for resolving these issues. He then constructs the framework needed for a dependable system of moral principles. Along the way, he deals with modern attacks on morality such as relativism, proportionalism, and consequentialism.
