Patrick tackles the tough issue of conscience versus preference in observing Church laws. He explores a real-life example of someone not attending mass due to grieving, and clarifies that preference is not the same as a well-formed conscience. He also debunks the notion that personal preference, such as attending only the traditional Latin mass, excuses one from Sunday obligations. The takeaway? As Catholics, it’s paramount to properly form our consciences and adhere to Church obligations, even when it’s challenging.
