179 Parts, Subjectivity, Values, and Morals

Catholic philosopher Dr. Andrea Messineo and moral theologian Fr. Thomas Berg guide us in moral reasoning from a parts perspective, grounded in Alasdair MacIntyre’s Thomistic thought. Join us as we romp through understanding the development of moral reasoning informed by IFS, “values clarification”, Winnicott’s object relations model, the importance of unblending and recollection for clarity in moral reasoning, the necessity of dependence on others, the proper use and the misuse of penance and mortification, how accepting a part does not mean endorsing that part’s impulses and desires, and so much more. Fr. Thomas Berg’s books: Hurting in the Church: A Way Forward for Wounded Catholics: Choosing Forgiveness: Unleash the Power of God's Grace: Dr. Andrea Messineo’s book “Alone in Church”: Check out Dr. Messineo’s website at Andreamessineolpcc.com If you want to flourish in loving God, your neighbor, and yourself, with other Catholics in a structured program informed by Internal Family Systems and grounded in a Catholic worldview, check out the Resilient Catholics Community here: and check out our informational video here: New groups are forming for Catholic formators – counselors, coaches, spiritual directors, priests, and others who individually accompany others in their formation are welcome to join our Formation for Formators community.
