A Case of Conscience

By J.R. Guillent Perez

?A Case of Conscience is the presentation of a documented story of three Franciscan priests of the Holy Land, whose decision to follow their conscience and the resultant encounters with Church authorities is a spiritual paradigm of our age. Three friars receive a call to depend directly and unconditionally on the will of God, by following the demands of their conscience. The call comes through a message for a "New Earth" given to a Venezuelan woman in a series of mystical revelations in Venezuela, Assisi, Avila, and at the Milk Grotto in Bethlehem.... Professor Guillent P?rez, a Venezuelan philosopher, presents the original letters and other documents, together with a lively introductory Essay and a series of Reflections. What emerges is a modern religious controversy "par excellence," a classic confrontation between a soul seeking realization through the inner voice of conscience, and a church seeking to legitimate its outer authority through institutional power.?
