Meaning of conscience :
The God-given internal sense in every mature human of what is morally right or wrong. Conscience is who we are as responsible moral people at the deepest level. It is not to be identified with feelings of guilt or absence of such feelings. Rather, it has to do with the objective good and what we know at our deepest level to be that good. For conscience to be followed we must be willing to form that conscience in dialogue with the wisdom of others, especially the teaching of the Church. Such a conscience is called a “well-formed conscience” and one must always follow one’s well-formed conscience. However, even well-formed consciences can be in error and that is then termed an “erroneous conscience”.
For the term conscience may also exist other definitions and meanings, the meaning and definition indicated above are indicative not be used for medical and legal or special purposes.
