 A final problem seems to emerge: are we not, according to Aquinas’s account of the erroneous conscience, left with the possibility of a moral dilemma? For if we have an obligation to always follow our consciences, but we sometimes sin when we do follow them, then it seems that we are sometimes put into a double bind. We seem, that is, to sometimes have conflicting obligations so that regardless of what we do, we sin. Aquinas’s solution is that it is only wrong to follow a conscience that is in a state of vincible ignorance. Since such ignorance is by definition correctable, we can always resolve the apparent dilemma by choosing to put aside our ignorance. As far as acting from invincible ignorance is concerned, we are pardoned.
