Resumo

This writing is a summary of a licenciate thesis. Its aim is to show in which way, in the moral life of the believer, inner taste when choosing how to act is decisive for happiness and salvation. Acting rightly is feeling rightly, and feeling rightly is not tantamount to a certain spontaneity indiferent to truth, and neither to mere external compliancy with natural, divine or ecclesiastical law. Without negating the importance of spontaneity as well as of the law, acting rightly entails, as a decisive criterion for discernment, an embodiment of moral truth as judged by therecta ratio. Such subjectivization is experienced as inner sweetness. At the same time, rightness of reason requires virtue, grace and the gifts of the Holy Ghost: we call this a judgment about goodness by affective connaturality or «per modum inclinationis».
