The Church's role is to provide the truth, so that its members can assimilate that truth and make it available to their consciences. A conscience is only as reliable as the quality of information it can draw upon in making moral decisions. A conscience formed on the truth is a reliable moral guide. One formed on the mores of society is essentially useless in making moral decisions.

From the answers I see here I'd say that role is to eradicate it.
Christians 'sin' and shrug it off with 'we're not perfect' but Jesus loves us. They say that anyone, no matter how horrible their deeds, can go to heaven simply by accepting Jesus. Where is the personal conscience in any of that?
