Tonneau the moralist - 2016.


38

The Dominican Jean Tonneau (1903-1991) was a theological moralist at the Saulchoir. In the second half of the xx th century, he lived through and bore witness to the gradual waning of Catholic morality, namely a specific form of Thomistic doctrine. He identified the symptoms as did many contemporary moralists and suggested educated solutions for renewal.
