What is important with regard to our doctrinal and moral response to new situations, is that we must maintain the fundamental principles of our faith in God and our central beliefs in our Jesus and His Church, and the basic moral laws. It is also critical that we do not just observe the laws slavishly but to ask ourselves how we are keeping the intent and the spirit of the fundamental laws given by God.  What is required of us is a good sense of pastoral outreach, guided by the spirit of the laws.
