He went on to teach moral theology as an associate professor at The Catholic University of America, Washington, DC until 1996.
After a short stint as a corporate ethicist with the Mercy Health System Oklahoma, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, he went on to Oregon to assume a newly established Andrew and Beverly Honzel Chair in Applied Health Care Ethics at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, Portland, in 1998 where he also founded and was the first director of the Providence Center for Health Care Ethics.

In his enlightening book, “Striving to Be Perfect as the Heavenly Father is Perfect: Reflections on Christian Maturity in Decision-Making, Forgiving, and Reconciliation,” Fr. John F. Tuohey offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to pursue spiritual maturity. Drawing from biblical references and his own life experiences, Tuohey explores Jesus’ call for perfection, emphasizing that the journey is not about achieving flawlessness but rather about growing in grace. He challenges readers to consider the prudent choices we can make in our daily lives, rather than relying on our default responses to life’s challenges. This thoughtful approach encourages a deeper understanding of how we can embody our faith in practical ways.
Fr. Tuohey’s insights resonate particularly well with the principles of the 12-Step AA Program, as he highlights the importance of grace, confession, penance, and forgiveness in our spiritual journeys. He reminds us that while Christians strive to grow closer to God and study His word, we are all susceptible to human error.
Overall, “STRIVING TO BE PERFECT AS THE HEAVENLY FATHER IS PERFECT” is not just a book; it is a meaningful companion for anyone serious about Christian maturity, encouraging us to embrace our imperfections while striving to grow closer to God. It is a powerful read that invites us to reflect on our daily decisions and relationships, ultimately leading us toward a more profound understanding of grace and spiritual growth.
