PLENARY OF THE INTERNATIONAL THEOLOGICAL COMMISSION

VATICAN CITY, 1 DEC 2008 (VIS) - The International Theological Commission is celebrating its plenary session from 1 to 5 December in the Vatican's "Domus Sanctae Marthae", under the chairmanship of Archbishop Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer S.J., secretary general of the commission.

  The commission, which has a five-year mandate that expires this year, will study the matters presented for it to examine, says a communique published today. In particular, a draft document on natural moral law entitled "The search for universal ethics. A new look at natural law", will be presented for members' approval. The draft document will still have to follow the procedures laid down in the Statutes before any publication. This will be followed by a detailed discussion on the theme: "Meaning and method of theology".

  At the end of their plenary assembly, the members of the International Theological Commission will be received in audience by the Holy Father.
