according to Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)
Natural Law is not a set of detailed prescriptions. Natural Law is the whole process by which a human being uses his intelligence [conscience] to act in a morally correct manner.This diagram is explained very well in the essay by Dr Columba Ryan OP:
“The Traditional Concept of Natural Law: An Interpretation.”
