Putting feelers out for a subject-matter expert:
Looking for anyone with a deep knowledge of #Catholic theology and metaphors common to discussion of same.
Looking for an etymology of use with regards to the term "moral grid" (English) or "grille morale" (French).
Have been able to trace the term back to an 1888 literary journal, where it is used off-handedly as if having an already established meaning.
Term takes off in mid-20th century print sources, being taken up in literary analysis and ethnographic writing, always invoked just the once, as if its meaning is a given. Yet, in so doing, seems to have taken on a slightly different meaning than its original theological use.
Yet if this shift has been formalized by anyone, have been unable to find the theorist responsible.
Anyway, if anyone has any leads to share, they'd be most appreciated.
