I studied theology in St. Pat's a while back and our book for moral theology was Gula's Reason Informed by Faith. I've just become aware of his links to Curran and although I barely used the text I want to read it now and compare it to one which does/could have an imprimatur on it.
I am aware of Veritatis Splendor and would like to read a text taking that into account if possible. Does anyone have any recommendations for books on moral theology which take into account VII and don't promote dissent?

Have you flicked through the CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA? On theology?

Are you speaking of the new advent website? That would be tough on my eyes, I can't bear that much writing online, it hurts. I'm looking for a book, a printed handbook on morality. Not a book on why abortion is bad and Mass is good, not apologetics but more philosophical. It would be like a framework for how morality works, in light of God. Something along the lines of Fr. Lonergan's Insight..

Thanks Alaisdir, I already know about Veritatis Splendor and have read it. I'm looking for a book that one would use as a foundation for moral theology in an academic setting. I used Gula when I studied a bit out in Maynooth and from amazon.co.uk reviews it seems that it was, perhaps still is, used for seminarians there which is a bit of a worry. Patrick Hannon's Moral Theology A Reader was another one on the booklist, it's a bit lightweight though.
I'm looking for something less dense than Fr. Lonergan's Insight but one that gives a solid foundation to Catholic morality, not the apologetics of it but the philosophy. Surely some moral theologian in line with Church teaching has written a decent book.

I would recommend the book :Hell plus How to Avoid Hell by Fr. FX Schouppe, S.J. and Thomas A. Nelson. (TAN Books & Publishers, Inc., 1989)
It has a large section on moral theology.
I was a seminarian for a month at the Beda Pontifical Seminary, Rome, the seminary under the bishops of England and Wales. I noticed the dissent in the moral theology book we were using and I also pointed it out to a seminarian friend there. At the Angelicum University they have Currans book in the Reference Section of the library.Also on display are the magazines The Tablet etc.

An Introduction to Moral Theology by William E May has the Nihil Obstat and Imprimateur. It devotes chapter eight to the Christian Moral Life and John Paul II’s Encyclical Veritatis Splendor.
I can confirm that it is written from an orthodox point of view. Hope this helps.

In this case, I will agree with Brencel - I would expect anything by William May to be good. But I would take Senor Andrades advice with a grain of salt - a month in the Beda College in Rome is hardly enough time to learn anything.

Given Senor Andrades' view on what constitutes dissent (i.e. failure to proclaim the most rigorist version of exclusive salvation) I would be very wary of his accusations without more detail. Sadly, since Senor Andrades has been kicked off this board for accusing named bishops of heresy for failing to agree with his Feeneyism, he will not be available to provide more detail.
