Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the role of the Catholic Church as a deontic and epistemic authority. It discusses the problem of whether the Church’s authority undermines the autonomy of the conscience of the faithful. It then provides a justication for the thesis that while the Church wields authority in moral issues, its authority is of an epistemic nature.
