    There are three levels of ethics: 1. The instinct level where law is seen as an external taboo, conscience is an ambivalent warning, and sin results in guilt and punishment. 2. The moral level where law comes from within one's own nature, conscience is deep self-aware discernment, and contrition leads to moral growth. 3. The Christian-religious level where law is an invitation to love through vocation and counsel, conscience is a loving communion of feeling and thinking, and sin is refusing to be for others.
