has gloss | eng: Examination of conscience is a review of one's past thoughts, words and actions for the purpose of ascertaining their conformity with, or difformity from, the moral law. Among Christians, this is generally a private review; secular intellectuals have, on occasion, published autocritiques for public consumption. In the Catholic Church penitents who wish to receive the sacrament of penance are encouraged to examine their conscience using the ten commandments as a guide. A similar doctrine is taught in Lutheran churhes, where penitents who wish to receive Holy Absolution are also asked to use the ten commandments as a guide. The process is very similar to the Islamic practice of Muhasaba, or self-reflection. |
