In his book, David Deane argues that there are two primary reasons for this rejection. Firstly, the dominance of secular approaches to reason and the human person undermines the coherence of Catholic positions. Secondly, Deane demonstrates that Catholic positions have lost touch with the theology upon which they were originally based. In response, Deane undertakes a deconstruction of the dominant secular positions and aims to restore Catholic positions to their theological roots. The outcome of this endeavor is a moral theology that is reconnected with the Trinitarian understanding of God and God's relationship with the world. Restored to its doctrinal foundations, the moral theology that Deane offers is more coherent, more beautiful, and more convincing than has been found in Catholic moral discourse for centuries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe majority of the secular West rejects Catholic positions on contentious moral issues, and an increasing number of Catholics are also rejecting these positions.
