Primacy of Conscience
In our current day the primacy of conscience is often cited as giving license to any sort of behavior. Yet how do we know when we are listening to our conscience or hearing the din of our appetites? What are our responsibilities in forming our own consciences? What is the relationship of the Church's teachings and our individual consciences? Dr. Joel Barstad, Chair of Theology at St. John Vianney Seminary, delves into his tremendous scholarly background to shed light on these questions.
To build a culture of life, start with love.
