Making Moral Decisions

It is one thing to know the law, another to interpret and apply it. We have lawyers and judges to help us in civil law; we have the Church to help and guide us in moral law. But even with knowledge and guidance, moral decisions are not always crystal clear. Ultimately our moral decisions are a matter for individual conscience and, provided our conscience is informed, and our decision is motivated by love, we won’t go far wrong. Asking “What would Jesus do?” should lead to the right decision.
