Let-Four Principles of Moral Discernment
• Principle of Formal Cooperation- it occurs when someone intentionally helps another person carry out a sinful act.
• Principle of Material Cooperation - when a person's actions unintentionally help another person do something wrong.
• Principle of Lesser Evil - The principle that when faced with selecting from two immoral options, the one which is least immoral should be chosen.
• Principle of Double Effect - This principle aims to provide specific guidelines for determining when it is morally permissible to perform an action in pursuit of a
good end in full knowledge that the action will also bring about bad results.
• Conscience - the act by which we apply to our own conduct our knowledge of good and evil, whether our judgment be correct or incorrect.
