Guiding moral decisions

• AIC model (action, intention, circumstance)

  • is a process that Catholics can use to make a good decision
• Action

  • actions that obey God's law are morally good and vice versa
  • if follows god's law or does not require moral consideration can move onto next step
  • if action breaks God's law then AIC process doesn't need to go further.
  • E.g. having a glass of alcohol
• Intention

  • refers to the motivation or reason behind an action
  • the person's intention must be right as well
  • if action is good can move onto next step
  • E.g. To have a good time
• Circumstance

  • the circumstance includes consequences
  • if these consequences go against God's law, then it is morally wrong
  • E.g. Driving after drinking and the consequence is putting yourself and others in danger.
