Circumcision

1. "Evaluation of current evidence indicates that the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks and that the procedure’s benefits justify access to this procedure for families who choose it. " (American Academy of Pediatrics, 10/24/12)

Conscience

1. Free will is like a conscience in that if you have it you can not doubt its existence. (1/30/13)
2. "Deep within his conscience man discovers a law which he has not laid upon himself but which he must obey. Its voice, ever calling him to love and to do what is good and to avoid evil, sounds in his heart at the right moment. . . . For man has in his heart a law inscribed by God. . . . His conscience is man's most secret core and his sanctuary. There he is alone with God whose voice echoes in his depths."- The Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1776 (Moral Conscience) (1/30/13)
3. “It is the conscience that tells us when we do wrong, so that we feel on the inside as if we have broken a bone. The bone pains because the bone is not where it ought to be. Our conscience troubles us because the conscience is not where it ought to be. Thanks to this power of self-reflection that we have, we can see ourselves, particularly so at night. Your freedom is never destroyed but you feel the sweet summons, and you ask why it is not stronger. It is strong enough if we would listen.”-Archbishop Fulton Sheen (1/18/13)
4. Conscience is part of the intellect and like all other parts of the intellect can be wrong if the person has not developed it properly. (10/22/12)
