“The Church is our Mother, which means it is an internal voice. It is not a set of external rules. That's what isn't understood about Catholicism in this Protestant culture. It means that your conscience is formed by the Church, but in the end you're responsible for your own activities.” MeanEndsMotherCultureVoiceChurchActivityUnderstoodConscienceResponsibleInternalsCatholicismProtestants Author:Francis George
“If you're going to say you're Catholic, you inform your conscience so that you're activities will conform to what God is telling us through the Church. If God is telling you something outside of that, well, the Church will look at that and say: we think it is true or we don't think it is true. The Church might say: that might be true for you but it has no public normative value.” IfsThinkingWellsLooksMightValuesChurchActivityConscienceCatholicBeing TrueConform Author:Francis George
