Love Marriage and the Catholic Conscience: Understanding the Church’s Teachings on Birth Control
“The antithesis of
conscience is unscrupulousness. The man who is indifferent to the question of
whether something is good or bad, sinful or licit, is unscrupulous. The man who
is blind to the ultimate gravity of the moral order, to the offense against God
constituted by sin, is unscrupulous. He also is unscrupulous who deliberately
silenced the voice of his conscience and frivolously, without bothering about
whether something is good or bad, abandons himself to his impulses. Also, he
who is not conscious of man’s capacity for self-deception and the possibility
of being value-blind is unscrupulous and acts irresponsibly.”
- Dietrich von Hildebrand -
