Abstract

It is an honourable job to consider the way of Protestant ethics and its position in moral conflicts of the present from the perspective of Catholic perception. The author persecutes this perspective in three steps. Firstly, he elaborates his personal fascination about Protestant ethics. In a second step, the irritations about Protestant ethics are shown. Not only are the necessary for the perspective from the Catholic to the Protestant side. The ambivalence of individualization processes as well as the ethical relevance of the faith in the Creation has to be taken into account. Before closing the essay with the third step, what the author hopes for the Protestant ethics, the theological significance of a relational ontology is explained
