Among the silly things you can express with freedom of speech are articles that promote the contempt of freedom of speech.

It’s a religion, not a democracy. You’re free to follow your conscience, but if by doing so you disagree with the teachings of the religion, you’re no longer a member of that religion - by definition.

In other words, what this is saying is that you’re free to leave Catholicism if you decide you don’t agree with it. Which seems self-evident until you read some history, where you find that this wasn’t always true with Catholicism, and it’s still not true with, for example, Islam.

By seeking a fully-formed conscience, we actually experience great freedom, because we're drawing closer to God's infinite Truth. It's not a burden or something that keeps us from doing what we want; it's a guide to help us do what is right. "The education of the conscience guarantees freedom and engenders peace of heart" (1784).

BTTT!

**..follow their conscience..**

I think there is ONE with better advice: “Not my will, but thine will be done”.

"Freedom of speech is a great thing. Unfortunately, it comes at an unavoidable price: When citizens are free to say what they want, theyll sometimes use that freedom to say some pretty silly things."

Hey moron, just who gets to decide exactly what is "silly" and what is important.
