The understanding and use of conscience in Roman Catholicism has
undergone evaluation within the broader efforts of the renewal of
moral theology called for by Vatican II. A review of the literature
reveals that among contemporary Catholic moral theologians there
are differences in the way conscience is understood and employed.
These differences are reflected in the distinct perspectives of
^D< 'revisionist' and 'non-revisionist' or 'traditional' Roman
Catholic moral theologians. Because conscience is a central issue
in Roman Catholic moral theology and pastoral practice, and since
'freedom of conscience' and the 'rights of conscience' are often
invoked in response to both theological issues and pastoral
concerns, an analysis and evaluation of contemporary theological
understandings of conscience is called for. This book studies the
nature and function of conscience in contemporary Roman Catholic
moral theology. It does so by examining, comparing and evaluating
the ways in which conscience is understood by two representative
contemporary moral theologians: Germain Grisez who represents the
non-revisionist or more traditional school Roman Catholic moral
theology and Bernard Hring who represents the revisionist school.
