Catechism of the Catholic Church ... from the Vatican

Catechism of the Catholic Church ... from St. Charles Borromeo

Text of the tempoary injunction prohibiting pro-life conduct around certain Ontario clinics and other sites (re: Linda Gibbons).

FIDEI DEPOSITUM... apostolic constitution affirming doctrinal value of Catechism.

Paragraph 1753 of The Catechism of the Catholic Church:

1753 A good intention (for example, that of helping one's neighbor) does not make behavior that is intrinsically disordered, such as lying and calumny, good or just. The end does not justify the means. Thus the condemnation of an innocent person cannot be justified as a legitimate means of saving the nation. On the other hand, an added bad intention (such as vainglory) makes an act evil that, in and of itself, can be good (such as almsgiving).
