May 19, 2021 Kresta Comments: Is the moral law subject to conscience? (18 May 2021)
In recent times, we have heard from bishops and moral theologians that the moral law is subject to the conscience. In Germany, Bishop Georg Bätzing said that Protestants who examine their conscience may receive the Eucharist. In the United States, some politicians say their conscience allows them to receive Communion despite their support for abortion, same-sex so-called marriage, or other things that are against Catholic teaching. Is this idea that conscience is above the moral law found in scripture? What is the Catholic view of this? Al Kresta shares his thoughts.
