Dealing with the role and formation of one's Conscience, this is the second in a series of lectures on the Catholic Catechism recorded in 1965 by Archbishop Fulton J Sheen in the privacy of his own study. A master communicator, Fulton Sheen recorded this insightful overview of the teaching of the Holy Catholic Church.

The foundations of skepticism, agnosticism, and atheism are in a revolt against conscience. Most mental problems stem from a revolt against the divine law written in our hearts.
