"To act against one's honestly erroneous conscience is to sin." (Archbishop Lefebvre, Religious Liberty Questioned, Angelus Press, p. 10)
Does this mean if I believe that the Novus Ordo is evil I cannot attain it in conscience?
Yes, actually. To knowingly violate one's conscience is a sin.
But I don't think that one can say that there is a right to follow one’s "conscience", if it involves a transgression of the moral law. Schoolman is saying there is a duty to follow one’s "conscience", even if it is in error…and it matters not what that error might be.
The proper definition of conscience is needed here.
