One can say that in a perfect world justice and fidelity would always be
one, but we see in some cases they are not: the person's conscience
does not allow him (or her) to live out the vow of obedience and so he
speaks out; or the person's vow of obedience does not allow him to speak
out so he remains silent. Remember that an informed conscience is the
ultimate arbiter in the moral life, and one should never violate one's
conscience, where, as the Second Vatican Council taught, we hear the
echo of God's voice.

Uh, huh. The "conscience card". Always in play when seeking to have to overthrow the Church.
Saturday 26 January 2013
Feast of Saints Timothy and Titus, Bishops
Noon reading (Sext) 1 Kings 2:2-3
"Be strong and show yourself a man. Observe the injunctions of the Lord your God, following his ways and keeping his laws, his commandments, his customs and his decrees, so that you may be successful in all you do and undertake."

Would Fr. Martin similarly counsel a husband who felt he could no longer remain faithful to his marriage vows?
"The "conscience card". Always in play when seeking to have to overthrow the Church."
Practicing one's faith is not "playing a card." Sorry we're not all stormtroppers.
