Summary/Abstract: The Church today faces the “spirit of the time” (Zeitgeist). Charles Curran proposes that Catholic theology respond to contemporary challenges, such as postmodernism and liberation theology. To create a “global ethics”, he suggests certain framework themes: attitude, model, person, virtues, principles and consciousness, which the theology he promotes acquires the character of a systematic discipline through. These moral, and fundamental values help the Catholic Church, which is challenged to recognize the specificity and diversity much more than before, to maintain “a certain universality and unity” at the same time.
