Was St Athanasius disobedient? I thought saintly people were determined by how obedient they were/are to their authorities. Please provide a list of disobedient Saints.
I'll tell you more: Saint Athanasius was excommunicated several times. Should he have obeyed the authorities in everything?
Many other saints were persecuted and excommunicated. (Saint Columba, saint Joan of Arc, etc.) We obey God first, not people.
I also want to ask you. Do you think Archbishop Lefebvre was a great man if he disobeyed Rome and was excommunicated? I suppose so. If you truly believe Archbishop Lefebvre had the right to do so, then you must put forward other arguments against Father Feeney.
