Catholic Word of the Day: DOUBTFUL CONSCIENCE, 04-21-10
CatholicReference.net ^ | 04-21-10 | Fr. John Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary

Featured Term (selected at random):

DOUBTFUL CONSCIENCE

A state of mind when it cannot certainly decide for or against a course of action and leaves the person unsure about the morality of what one is to do, or what one may have done. One sign of a doubtful conscience is that it gives rise to a positive judgment with a prudent fear of being wrong, or more commonly to a negative judgment in which the person does not know whether an act is lawful or not.

TOPICS: Apologetics; Catholic; History; Theology
KEYWORDS: catholic; catholiclist; conscience
Laughing ------------ does a doubtful conscience describe many dimocrats in Congress?

Or do they even have a conscience since their actions are very often based on distorted and filtered and lobbied information???

I guess this "doubtful conscience" could also have a profound effect on people in various denominations not holding to the truth as presented by God.

Thanks, everyone for your support.

I thought about this the other day and did the research this morning.
