case of conscience
case of conscience n. Theology a matter in which a conflict of principles has to be resolved by the application of moral rules, or (in later use) one's sense of what is morally right. [After Middle French cas de conscience (1485 in the passage translated in quot. 1502; French cas de conscience subsequently from 1606), itself after post-classical Latin casus conscientiae (14th cent.). Compare Spanish caso de conciencia (a1543 in the passage translated in quot. 1574, as †caso de consciencia).] Such matters have traditionally been divided into two classes: those which concern a person's state before God, and those which concern his or her actions in that state. It is mainly to the latter, i.e. cases of conduct, that casuistry is understood to refer.
