What's been consuming so very much of my time lately?

Three weeks ago the topic for my Master's thesis was approved, and I have since been very occupied with research and writing. It is due mid-March, and I'll be defending by early April. Prayers would, of course, be greatly appreciated. And no worries, I will still be blogging as my "intellectual playtime" (in that I consider blogging intellectual and also great, great fun).

My topic, broadly, is on the thought of Servais Pinckaers, a brilliant Dominican moral theologian, longtime teacher at Fribourg in Switzerland, member of the ITC and contributor to the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Needless to say, I'd recommend reading his masterful magnum-opus The Sources of Christian Ethics or his shorter, more popular-oriented Morality: The Catholic View if you want some top-notch moral theology.
