The Catholic conscience is defined as, '...the judgment of the practical reason which decides that a particular action is in conformity with or opposition to God's law.' If one is said to have an erroneous conscience, it may be with or without fault. If it is without his own fault, he does not sin by following it, such as making being mistaken on the day and committing an activity considered sinful on that day. However, in regards to the Commandments of God, no person of ordinary intelligence can be ignorant without his own fault. For example, it is assumed (everyone) knows murder is against the Commandments, therefore would be wrong, regardless of what lack of, or mistaken, knowledge the person has.
