This lecture was given on Thursday, April 18, at a dinner event organized by Corpus Christi for Unity and Peace, in Carmel, Indiana.
Synopsis:
The obedience of one man to another mere man is not, and can never be, unconditional or, to use the more common language, “blind.” The reason obedience is not blind is that prior to obedience stand truth and charity. Any human being, no matter what his position in the Church or in the State, is to be obeyed only if and when what he commands is in harmony with the law of God, or at least not evidently opposed to it.
In particular, to abolish or prohibit or in any way work against the venerable Roman Rite that was humbly received, gratefully loved, and lavishly praised for century after century of uninterrupted growth is the most notorious and damaging attack on the Church's common good possible or imaginable, and must be resisted accordingly.
