hmmm...you seem to be prevaricating. I should add that people's emotions affect their "intellectual" judgements.

I said that was the Catholic view* of conscience. The popular view of conscience is that it is about feeling remorse or regret.

* Strictly speaking, it's a philosophical view that has been upheld by the Church. You don't need to be Catholic to believe it, however.

AHH! Thats the problem- I am a Catholic.

And you seem to be equivocating (see - I can be sesquipedalian too).

I don't deny that people's emotions affect their intellectual judgments; what I'm saying is that it does not always result in a suspension of the ability to tell right from wrong.

What's your point?
