How should we reach this judgement ? It is widely suggested today that even those who accept Christian revelation, even members of the Catholic Church, should make up their minds on the basis of personal opinion of the merits in each case even when Christ has pronounced or the Church has ruled on a question. This challenge requires an examination of the fundamental issues at stake. What would be the role of conscience if there were no divine revelation ? How does faith, and how does membership of the Catholic Church affect the position ? How do conscience, faith, authority co-exist and inter-relate ? These questions are considered in this book.
