The Call of Conscience - A Harmonizing Force in Defence of Freedom

In a free society, the call of conscience will direct people down many different paths. This great variety of vocational pursuits increases the number of things tried and so helps a culture develop in a civilization advance. But when freedom recedes it can act as a harmonizing force, directing people toward vocations that defend freedom. In mutually committing ourselves to a shared vocation, transcending ourselves in dedication toward it, we help to realize it in ourselves and each other.
