One of the most heated debates in recent times among Christian ethicians has been over what has come to be called "proportionalism." Opponents have argued that proportionalists are intent on relativizing theology norms and theh concept of intrinsic evil. Proponents, on the other hand, argue that they are merely developing a traditional notion of proportion of reason. Bernard Hoose puts this debate in context by showing its roots in the writings of European moral theologians and its flowering in the writings of their American colleagues. He uncovers a number of confusions that have bedeviled the argument while revealing how important the issues are for establishing in coherent Christian ethics in the twentieth century.

Proportionalism: The American Debate and Its European Roots
Very good book--definitely worth reading. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955), Jesuit, a brilliant paleontologist and a theologian (he would not have claimed to have been a theologian), ran afoul of the Jesuit and Catholic hierarchy because of his views on evolution. The Church forbade him from publishing his works and, to totally silence him, exiled him to China in 1922 and made him stay there until the Communist took over China after World War II. While there, he participated in the discovery of the Peking Man, a major discovery that furthered the acceptance of the theory of evolution. What a testament--God will not be defeated!!!!
Teilhard submitted to the authority of the Jesuits, retained his integrity as a world class scientist and never wavered in his faith. Much of his writing, which is now standard reading in many seminaries, recounts his efforts to reconcile science and the Christian faith.
This book tells the story of much of Teilhard's life and his participating in one of the great paleontological discoveries of the 20th century, including his faithfulness and the pain and loneliness it caused him.
