“Francis tells American Catholics to vote as their conscience dictates. John Paul II sees the individual conscience as a route to knowing God. To respect a person’s conscience isn’t to show weakness or embrace moral relativism. It’s to recognize that God is at work in all human hearts and that existential humility doesn’t contradict religious conviction.
It is a vital aspect of the Christian faith.”
“. . . God is at work in all human hearts . . .”
