To recap: consequentialism is basically \u201cend justify the means\u201d thinking. If you believe that the good ends you are trying to achieve allow you to do things which are intrinsically immoral (say, \u201cReduce future crime by killing this baby.\u201d or \u201cPrevent some hypothetical war in the future by pre-emptively attacking this country\u201d or \u201cShoot this abortionist to stop him from performing an abortion\u201d or \u201cNuke this city full of civilians to defeat this country\u201d or \u201cDo evil act A to achieve remote good end B), then you are a consequentialist.<\/p>\n

If you think I\u2019m ugly or stupid or a doodyhead, if you think Harry Potter is satanic, if you think I should have voted for McCain or Obama, if you disagree with me on *any* subject besides the question of whether or not you can do evil that good may come of it, you are not a consequentialist. Consequentialism is a word with an actual meaning describing a particular (condemned by the Magisterium) moral theory. It is not a general term of abuse.<\/p>\n
