A short “morality” series. There seems to be some questions about this on the forum.

Just an odd note: Has anybody here ever read (and understood) the book "Intention" by G.E.M. Anscombe? It was influential -- so I've heard--- in the way the Catechism speaks of intention as a moral factor, and yet I find it baffling. Very. Can anybody offer a Dummy's Guide?
