Pope Francis's contextual theology of conscience is the guiding star for this project, which aims to be both theologically substantive and practically useful for teachers, professors, and administrators. Contributors include college professors, K-12 teachers, and school administrators, on topics such as: conscience and academic freedom, conscience formation and neuroscience, transgender students in Catholic schools, and cultivation of an ecologically sensitive conscience.

Introduction

Kevin C. Baxter and David E. DeCosse

How might recent developments in the theology of conscience in the Catholic tradition be better incorporated into the administration and teaching of K-12 Catholic schools and in Catholic colleges and universities? This question is the driving force behind Conscience and Catholic Education: Theology, Administration, and Teaching, the third book in a series from the Project on Conscience and Roman Catholic Thought at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, the Jesuit university in Silicon Valley.

The first two books in the series were called, respectively, Conscience and Catholicism: Rights, Responsibilities, and Institutional Responses (Orbis 2015) and Conscience and Catholic Health Care: From Clinical Contexts to Government Mandates (Orbis 2017). Both books followed the same model as Conscience and Catholic Education: a collection of essays by top theologians who draw on and deepen the Catholic moral tradition on conscience by paying special attention to social, cultural, and structural contexts. Thus, the first book in the series, Conscience and Catholicism, featured contributors from global Catholicism and essays that explored race and gender in the American context. Conscience and Catholic Health Care took on such topics as the “reciprocity of consciences” in a Catholic hospital and the interplay between conscience and the roles of employees in Catholic institutions whose leaders opposed the accommodation offered by the Obama Administration to facilitate the availability of contraception for women. With Conscience and Catholic Education, we continue the exploration of the social, cultural, and structural dimensions of the theology of conscience in the context of Catholic education. We also offer practical classroom tips for K-12 and college and university teachers. More than in the first two books in the series, Conscience and Catholic Education includes contributions from practitioners who are not professors of theology.
