Gdy Kościół zagląda do sypialni. Rozmowa z ks. Jackiem Prusakiem SJ

Should a Catholic always listen to their conscience? And what should they do when their conscience leads to conclusions different from those we associate with official Church teaching? In a conversation with Artur Sporniak, editor of "Tygodnik Powszechny," Jesuit Father Jacek Prusak discusses moral responsibility, which cannot be delegated to authorities, regulations, or clergy. We discuss why there is no alternative to conscience, the courage to follow one's own discernment, and why a conflict of conscience is not a sign of failure but an important element of human maturation. The question of human sexuality and Catholics' understanding of it also serves as a starting point. Are there simple answers to issues related to conception, responsible parenting, or difficulties conceiving? Father Prusak explores the tension between subjectivism and an orthodox understanding of Church teaching, explaining why morality rarely boils down to ready-made recipes. In this episode, you'll also hear: • why confession shouldn't be an interrogation, but a confession, • when a person doesn't need someone else's consent for their own moral discernment, • what the advantages and pitfalls of moralizing are, • what psychology says about moral development, • how we know that some things are simply wrong. We invite you to join us in a conversation about conscience, responsibility, and moral maturity. Support the podcast at https://patronite.pl/tygodnikpowszechny
