A Case of Conscience follows a space-traveling priest known as Father Ruiz-Sanchez. He’s a man of faith, but he’s also a scientist and doesn’t have any conflicts in his beliefs. Then he is sent to Lithia, a planet inhabited by repilians. They have no concept of God, literature, or art, but they manage to live in peace. They are logical and only rely on reason in decision making, but there are fears that they may pose a threat to our world. Ruiz-Sanchez is driven by his own understanding of good and evil. Can he do the right thing?
