Abstract
The article talks about the reversal of morality of the Second Vatican Council to anthropological-Christological foundations. It is divided into three parts. The first paragraph summarizes the anthropology of morality in the period after the Council of Trent and before the Second Vatican Council. After the Council of Trent, emphasis was placed on determining what the sin is, and the sinner is viewed as a “case” that the confessor should solve. As a reaction to this “manualistic” moral in period before the Second Vatican Council, different streams of renewal, that had tried to get closer into the situation of a concrete person, appeared. The second paragraph talks about the scheme that was prepared for constructing the document of moral theology and the reason for its rejection, as well as the guidelines for renewal of moral theology that the Second Vatican Council brings. The third point explains in detail the close link between Anthropology and Christology, and the importance of that reality for common and Christian morality.
