CCC 1789

Some rules apply in every case: - One may never do evil so that good may result from it; - the Golden Rule: "Whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them."⁵⁶ Mt 7:12; cf. Lk 6:31; Tob 4:15. - charity always proceeds by way of respect for one's neighbor and his conscience: "Thus sinning against your brethren and wounding their conscience . . . you sin against Christ."⁵⁷ 1 Cor 8:12. Therefore "it is right not to . . . do anything that makes your brother stumble."⁵⁸ Rom 14:21.
