The primacy of truth

George Cardinal Pell, Archbishop of Sydney, delivered an address to members of the Lumen Christi Institute at the University of Chicago last fall on the "primacy of truth" and the "primacy of conscience." ZENIT recently posted a synopsis of this very interesting speech.

"A debased notion of conscience - a barely-concealed enthusiasm for autonomy disguised as an appeal to the primacy of conscience - weakens our sense of obligation, damages our purity of heart, and makes it harder and harder to see God."
