Catholic casuists are individuals, particularly theologians or moral theologians, who engage in the study and application of casuistry, which is a method of resolving moral problems by applying theoretical ethical principles to particular instances. This approach often involves analyzing specific cases and situations to discern the moral actions that are permissible or required according to Catholic teachings. Casuists focus on the nuances of individual situations, taking into account the complexities of human behavior, intention, and circumstances.
