Form your conscience well this election season: Highlights from the Catechism

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Denver Catholic published a guide to help people use the Catechism of the Catholic Church to form their consciences during the election season.

The guide suggests that people prepare for making choices by rooting themselves in the Word of God, committing to prayer, and listening for God's voice. It directs readers to paragraphs 1776 through 1802 of the Catechism, which discuss moral conscience. The publication also references Gaudium et Spes 16 and Catechism paragraph 1795 to describe conscience as an inner sanctuary where individuals are alone with God.
