Mer om samvetet

I Envoy Magazines hemsida finns en artikel som besvarar olika invändningar mot att använda NFP(Naturlig familjeplanering) istället för preventivmedel, och där kommer även frågan om samvetet in:

In acknowledging the existence of objective truth and the Catholic Church as the teacher of that truth we can see that there are two parts to the obligation to follow one’s conscience. I must first properly form my conscience by accepting the official teachings of the Church in matters of faith and morals (and this unquestionably includes sexual ethics and family planning) before making a ”judgment of reason” about a proposed act. The teachings of the Church are to be the starting point for determining whether a given act is right or wrong and we are always morally obligated to adhere to these teachings as we work out their particular application in our lives. Or, put another way, ”Personal conscience and reason should not be set in opposition to the moral law or the magisterium of the Church” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2039).
