Abstract
Does being Roman Catholic influence ethical studies?
Dr. Margaret Farley discusses her work as an ethicist in understanding ethical issues as no longer being shared exclusively by specific denominations. She especially sees ethical issues as vital to feminism, which pulls from across all denominations to create a more valid argument.
