Italian term or phrase: ...una dottrina del bene
Looking for a good term to use here. In this interview on Chinese persecution of Christians, this religious scholar has just been giving her opinion on why "sects" have acquired such bad publicity, and why they are seen as evil by some. She has just spoken about good and bad personalities being present in all religions, not just in sects...

"......, ma questo è un problema che esiste in tutte le religioni non soltanto nelle sette. Quindi diciamo che tutte le religioni fondamentalmente hanno delle buone una buona etica, una dottrina del bene e della solidarietà."
