Examine your conscience at the “Light of the Gospels
Archbishop Wenski’s column for the March edition
of the Florida Catholic
As Catholics, seeking to do Gods will, we are called upon to examine
our consciences frequently. In fact, a daily examination of conscience,
in which we review our day in the light of the Gospel, is as important to
our spiritual well-being as a periodic physical exam is important to our
bodily health. But it bears emphasizing: We are called to examine our
conscience in the light of the Gospel.
In the past several decades, we have experienced, both in society and in
the Church, a crisis in the meaning of conscience. In the Church, follow
your conscience came to be code for pursing personal preferences
against Church teachings, especially in sexuality, bioethics, remarriage
and communion.
Since 1968, when Pope Paul VI issued Humanae Vitae, widespread
dissent has often been justified by such appeals to the supposed supremacy of conscience over obedience to Church authority.
Follow your conscience was used as an escape hatch to evade the responsibility of following a particularly hard or sensitive teaching and
thus claim immunity from reasoned argument or moral law.
Follow your conscience has been perhaps the most flawed advice given
in the post-Vatican II era. It has lead to many disastrous personal decisions and has brought ruin to the Churchs pastoral life.
While the freedom of conscience has been rightly emphasized (it is an
offense against the dignity of the human person to coerce him to act
against his conscience), conscience is not free to disregard moral truths
or objective norms, anymore than a physical body is free to ignore the
laws of gravity.
If conscience is to be more than just a blind guide, it must mean more
than just ones subjective inclinations or personal preferences. If conscience is to guide the human mind in choosing the good or the godly, it
must be rightly formed accurately mediating and applying the natural
law written in the human heart.
Every human being is bound to seek, embrace and live the truth faithfully. In other words, we have the duty to rightly form and inform our consciences taking responsibility for our actions and seeking to always
discern the right choice to make is part of the challenge of human maturity.
In meeting that challenge, Catholics cannot freely dispense with the
Churchs Magisterium her teaching authority in matters of faith and morals. As Catholics we seek to form and inform our conscience through the
obedience of faith, submitting our experience, insights and wishes to the
judgment of the Gospel.
As the Second Vatican Council taught, conscience must be properly
formed and educated by ensuring it is dutifully conformed to the divine
law and submissive toward the Churchs teaching office, which authentically interprets that law in the light of the Gospel.
The Gospel does not burden the conscience but enlightens it and thus
allows it to grow to fuller maturity and freedom. The faith and morals of
the Church are normative for anyone who wishes to belong to her. Once
we belong to her, certain practices and beliefs come with the package,
so to speak. This is why we can say that you cannot be pro-abortion and
a Catholic or pro-euthanasia, or pro-cloning, or pro-gay marriage.
Pope John Paul II in Veritatis Splendor reaffirmed Vatican II teaching
that Christ and the Church can, have and do teach definitively in moral
matters. A well-formed Christian conscience will be informed by such
authoritative teachings. And so, we are called to examine our consciences in the light of the Gospel, always ready to reform ourselves according
to the mind of Christ, as authentically transmitted by the Church.
