The text deals with the different conceptions of conscience in Veritatis Splendor and Amoris laetitia and undermines the argument of discontinuity. In contrast, a hermeneutic of complementarity is advocated. This can open up adequate spaces of thought for the dialectic of theory and practice, in which the often overlooked and forgotten multidimensionality of the Christian concept of conscience can unfold. The mutual reflection of Veritatis splendor and Amoris laetitia results in a conception of conscience that can express the scope of the concept of conscience and at the same time the dynamic character and vitality of the Church’s teaching.
