Can you please explain further? - Jesus Sat, 21 Aug 2010 18:50:25 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/unconscionable.html#comment-2514 Thank you, Eleanor. Another book recommendation: By Knowledge and by Love, by Michael Sherwin, OP. It's an analysis of the relationship between knowledge and charity in the moral theology of St. Thomas. Your article reminds me of the following which came up in a moral theology course at DHS: when morality and reason are separated from each other, efforts to establish a common moral code among a society become reduced to a struggle for power. Whoever gains power may force his code on others. - Scott Johnston Sun, 09 Aug 2009 09:00:51 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/unconscionable.html#comment-2488 Awesome article! Thank you so much. Scott, thanks for the book tip, I will check it out. As I was reading this I was flooded with thankfulness that there are many that recognize how vocabulary has changed and that going back to the truth is truly the only way forward. thanks again. - Achilles Thu, 06 Aug 2009 12:33:41 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/unconscionable.html#comment-2487 Excellent article. There is a book out by Fr. Thomas Williams called Knowning Right From Wrong. I haven't be able to read it yet, but an interview with him was encouraging as he focused on two errors regarding conscience. The first error is much like you described: the conscience as a moral law unto itself. The other is conscience as referee--something you only hear from when you are doing something wrong as opposed to a spur toward virtue. - Scott W. Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:48:26 +0100
