Lying in the Service of a Good Cause

Taking up the topic of the morality of lying (discussed at length on MOJ back in late Feburary), UST's Center for Catholic Studies Graduate Students and the Murphy Institute are hosting a disputation ("a probing, public examination of a controversial question about which faithful minds may be earnestly divided and which hold the promise of spiritual fruit if seriously addressed") on the question:  "Can it be morally permissible to assert a falsehood in service of a good cause?"  Our disputants will be Christopher Kaczor of Loyola Marymount and Christopher Tollefsen of the University of South Carolina & the Witherspoon Institute, whose on-line debate on this topic in Public Discourse was discussed in this post by Robby George.   May 5th, 7:30 -9:00, in the John Roach Center for Liberal Arts Auditorium on UST's St. Paul Campus.   Details here.
