 PERCEPTIONS ABOUT CONSCIENCE
Saint Thomas Aquinas
 Conscience is the act of applying our knowledge of good and
evil to what we do
New Testament
  Conscience is a God-given capacity for human beings to exercise self-
evaluation. Paul refers several times to his own conscience being “good” or
“clear” (Acts 23:1; 24:16; 1 Corinthians 4:4)
 Conscience as a witness to something. appeals to his own conscience as a
witness that he speaks the truth (Romans 9:1) and that he has conducted
himself in holiness and sincerity in his dealings with men (2 Corinthians
1:12). He also says that his conscience tells him his actions are apparent to
both God and the witness of other men’s consciences (2 Corinthians 5:11).
 Conscience is a servant of the individual’s value system.
 Consciences are clear because of mature faith and understanding,
we are not to cause those with weaker consciences to stumble by
exercising the freedom that comes with a stronger conscience.
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1783 (CCC 1783)
 Conscience must be informed and moral judgement enlightened.
 A well-formed conscience is upright and truthful.
 It formulates its judgements according to reason, in conformity
with the true good willed by the wisdom of the Creator.

Catechism for Filipino Catholics 701 (CFC 701)

 Conscience is the “Little Voice” that tells us whether the
decision we are doing is good or bad.
