Moral case study regarding Social Justice Ethics

This week, on Wednesday 26 November at 4.00pm, a moral case study regarding the Social Justice Ethics, was held at the Seminary Conference Room. The case was presented by Can George Frendo, lecturer at the Institute. The case study was attended by the seminarians, several of the formators, lecturers and other members of the Gozitan clergy.

The case was about a medical worker with a family, who needed urgent repair work on a house he inherited. A family friend recommended a worker who could start immediately but insisted on being paid in cash without receipts. Although John urgently needed the work done, he felt uneasy about the lack of proper documentation and wanted to act ethically. Unsure what to do, he sought advice from a priest about the moral and social justice implications of such an arrangement.

After the case was outlined, Can Frendo presented his research as a response, giving insights for a discussion that followed.
