Well, I did a moral ethics unit last semester at uni as an elective and what I learnt is that sometimes there's no clear answer when it comes to morality. For example, is it morally right to lie to save someone's life? This of course, is testing GOD's absolute moral code, because as a Christian you know it's not right to lie.
I'll wait and see what you would do in such a situation before I expand.
I have seen something similar explored somewhere where the question was asked is is ok to take and eat food that doesn't belong to you without asking, and although it doesn't answer your paradox it does clarify the Catholic and probably general Christian, a little the way to deal with the situation moraly, i will try to track it down
To me it's pretty obvious that morality doesn't come from the Christian god. Your lack of response to a fairly simple scenario tells me there's no loophole in the system. Actually, there has recently been a situation where this happened, so let's use that example.
Think back to the shootings at that school. There was a teacher who told her students to hide in the cupboards of the classroom and when the psychopath entered the room, he asked where the kids were. Her response was that they were at the gym -- a dirty, sinful lie. She of course got gunned down after that as the psychopath then presumably headed for the gym.
According to the Bible, was she meant to tell the truth?
