The Enduring Scalia​

By Hadley Arkes

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2019

"In my last column (“Steps from God to the Religion of the Self”) I recalled Saint John Paul II’s warning about the “subjectivizing” of “conscience”: “[T]he inescapable claims of truth disappear, yielding their place to a criterion of sincerity, authenticity and ‘being at peace with oneself.’”

In that way, “conscience” is subtly but decisively turned: instead of being directed to a set of objective moral truths and the Author of the moral law, this “conscience” comes to mean the “truths” that a person is willing to settle on as his own.

Pope Benedict also warned about the dangers of moral relativism.
