Taking Catholics for Choice to the Woodshed

Fr. Z does it for me.

The nerve of their president Jon O'Brien:

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Catholic Health Association may be behind the new rule, but their support does not reflect the fullness of Catholic teaching and the views of Catholics.

Fr. Z called what Jon O'Brien wrote "evil."

I'd have to agree:

One hopes that the bishops are not suggesting that the only well-formed conscience is one that is in lockstep with their own interpretation of Catholic teaching. That would, in fact, be the antithesis of a well-formed conscience.

Actually, the catechism says:

no. 1794 - A good and pure conscience is enlightened by true faith.

In other words, the phrase "well-formed conscience" is an objective not a subjective description.
