Conscience

A person's conscience is very much an intergral part of Catholic ethics. Conscience holds a very important place in ethics for two main reasons-

It is an important aspect of Christian decision- making
It is one of the most indepensable sourrces of authority for Christians

It is by using our conscience that we are able to make judgments about the type of life we should strive to lead. It is through reading the Bible and by listening to teachings that we INFORM our conscience. Conscience is thus often described as a person's final, or supreme, arbiter of right and wrond. It is the belief of the Catholic Church that God speaks through a person's conscience. The primary role of conscience is to uphold the individual's intergrity and moral goodness. The conscience poses as an inner moralistic authority that sets the boundarise within which one acts.

make sure its not catholic centered (as your response is as it stands at the moment)

You *must* show knowledge of Christianity, not just one variant of it otherwise it will not score as hignly as it would (check out the marking criteria from last year to see what I mean)

*Looks at Snapperhead*

what are you looking at me for?

You really dont need articles as such.... If you really want articles, just goto yahoo.com.au->news-> and do a search for anything that has been in the news lately...

You only need to know how the media depicts religion and how religion uses the media.
The second is easy as you only need to of religious media agencies. The first bit is where you need 1-3 simple examples...given that we have just had an election and that Australia is "involved" in a war...there are two good areas to start you searching from....!!

edit: sneaky...those links were not there when I started typing this response!!! (7:44 vs 7:56!!)

What do you want me to do with them?

edit #2..just had a look at them...the time ones dont really work as they ae just the opening paragraphs so they are useless
the smh one is for subscribers only so its useless ie no article to see!!
and the one on the Da Vici code is really just a book review

To be honest, none of them fit into the syllabus requirements for this topic so I cant really help you with them!! Sorry
