From the Latin casus, meaning "case," it generally refers to a method of applying principles in a given discipline to specific cases, but in Christian theology it refers to a branch of ethical theology concerned with applying moral principles to specific cases. Although we may certainly know moral principles, we are not familiar with all the specific cases that fall under them, so causal theory is useful and necessary for those tasked with teaching and advising on moral issues.

〈事例〉を意味するラテン語casusに由来し,一般にある学問における原則を特定の事例に適用する方法を指すが,キリスト教神学においては道徳的原理を個別的事例に適用することにかかわる,倫理神学の一部門を意味する。われわれは道徳的原理については確実に知っていても,その下にふくまれるすべての個別的事例を熟知しているわけではないから,決疑法は道徳問題に関して指導,助言すべき責務をおびる者にとって有益かつ必要である。
