“When conscience falls silent and we do nothing to resist it, the consequence is the dehumanization of the world and a deadly danger.”
― Pope Benedict XVI, Values in a Time of Upheaval: Meeting the Challenges of the Future

“Conscience means the abolition of mere subjectivity when man’s intimate sphere is touched by the truth that comes from God.”
― Pope Benedict XVI, Values in a Time of Upheaval: Meeting the Challenges of the Future

“It is here that we touch on the neuralgic point of the modern age: the concept of truth has in practice been abandoned and replaced by the concept of progress. Progress itself “is” truth. But this apparent elevation deprives progress of all contents; it dissolves into nothing. For if there is no direction, everything can be interpreted either as progress or as regress.”
― Pope Benedict XVI, Values in a Time of Upheaval: Meeting the Challenges of the Future

“the loss of the ability to see one’s guilt, the falling silent of conscience in so many areas, is a more dangerous illness of the soul than guilt that is recognized as guilt.”
