Bernhard Häring is well known as a progressive moralist because he tries to progress moral theology as a science. Moral theology - before the Second Vatican Council - is so much controlled by Vatican so moral theology can not develop itself. According to Häring, moral theology, as a science, has to explore our faith: our relationship with God. To aim this goal, Häring stresses 3 points as locus theologicus of moral theology: Christ as Person, His redemption and our daily life. Häring believes that christian morality is never pure morality but depends on the relationship with Christ. So, this is why Häring categorizes christian morality as morality of discipleship: You do because You believe in Christ.
