Abstract

What is the proper environment for a correct formation of the Christian moral subject? We note that in the strength of community life, in which the sense of belonging to the Church becomes effective, the Christian opens to a formation process of maturation in the ability to discern the path of the good. In fact, the origin of the Mosaic Law, understood as an orientation toward an excellent life, we find God’s covenant with the people in a context that does not consider the individual as an isolated subject, but that considers the human person in a context marked by interpersonal relationships. Similarly, the Church, in her Tradition and Magisterium, promotes the bond between faith and life by having the «communio» as a ground of virtuous morals acts.
