SS, cool. :-)
Diego, yeah, I said I'm not sure about the role of the laity, but that is how I understood St.Catherine's statement. How would you understand it? Interesting that St.Catherine thought that obedience to a Pope could lead to damnation. But I'm not saying we should imitate what the Popes do, just that we should not rebel against those we recognize as Popes, on account of their seat. We can believe that their conduct is erroneous or scandalous or their non-binding opinions worthy of disobedience. This is what St.Catherine appears to have done, but respectfully.
