Formation of Conscience
Developing conscience is important for it to stay working
in its best form. Forming the conscience is a lifelong
process which means, it does not happen overnight nor it
is an easy task. However, forming the conscience entails
two concerns: what happens when the person is in
ignorance, which leads to an erroneous conscience; and,
what happens when one’s conscience differs from the
Catholic Church’s teachings.
