From paragraph 303 of “The Exuberance of Buttsecks”:
“Yet conscience can do more than recognize that a given situation does not correspond objectively to the overall demands of the Gospel. It can also recognize with sincerity and honesty what for now is the most generous response which can be given to God, and come to see with a certain moral security that it is what God himself is asking amid the concrete complexity of one’s limits, while yet not fully the objective ideal.”
The fact that Bergoglio is a full-blown heretic is no longer debatable amongst serious adults. The question for the adults at the table now is, WHO IS BERGOGLIO? And yes, I mean that in the most sinister sense possible.

The sermon at my church last week centered on the different types of conscience outlined in the Bible. It was not covered that our “conscience” can override the Bible in order to justify immorality and sin.
David DeGerolamo
David “our conscience can override the Bible in order to justify immorality and sin,” is not clear to me. The following Scripture defines what you might be alluding to.
Pro 1:20
Wisdom calls aloud outside;
She raises her voice in the open squares.
Pro 1:21
She cries out in the chief concourses,[fn]
At the openings of the gates in the city
She speaks her words:
Pro 1:22
“How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?
For scorners delight in their scorning,
And fools hate knowledge.
Pro 1:23
Turn at my rebuke;
Surely I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you.
Pro 1:24
Because I have called and you refused,
I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,
Pro 1:25
Because you disdained all my counsel,
And would have none of my rebuke,
Pro 1:26
I also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your terror comes,
Pro 1:27
When your terror comes like a storm,
And your destruction comes like a whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.
Pro 1:28
“Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.
Pro 1:29
Because they hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the LORD,
Pro 1:30
They would have none of my counsel
And despised my every rebuke.
Pro 1:31
Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way,
And be filled to the full with their own fancies.
Pro 1:32
For the turning away of the simple will slay them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them;
Pro 1:33
But whoever listens to me will dwell safely,
And will be secure, without fear of evil.”
If you read Romans 1:16 through to the end of the chapter you will find that Proverbs 1 and Romans 1 are saying the same thing. It is God’s Spirit that speaks and makes known to man that God exist. Those who listen and live by faith will find the wisdom of God that is in Christ. Those who continually reject God’s voice will turn to Satan’s voice. There is a point where man’s conscience is seared, God gives these over to their own destruction. Satan is a lion waiting to consume those who reject God’s voice.
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”
