Chap 5

Christian conscience is:

• awareness of God's call to be.

• awareness of God's call to know the good.

• awareness of God's call to do the good.

• all of the above

Conscience works:

• before we act.

• as we act.

• after we act.

• all of the above.

After studying all the issues in a particular situation, a conscientious decision will involve

• choosing what is immediately gratifying.

• acting when still in doubt.

• praying for divine assistance.

• delaying a decision until we have absolute certitude.

Conscience is the subjective norm of morality:

• therefore, it can never be wrong

• however, it can still judge the objective truth

• therefore, it should put personal choice above God's law

• therefore, it must never be trusted

A source of a faulty conscience judgment might include all the following except:

• humility in saying I don't know everything

• rejecting church teaching

• being ruled by one's emotions

• ignorance of Christ's Gospel
