I agree with Sean here. The pope is not the Church. We owe our obedience to the Church, which is Christ, and we owe our obedience to the legitimate laws and teachings of Her pope, hierarchy and representatives - including our own [Catholic] parents and [Catholic] superiors.
We know by adhering to those legitimate laws and teachings and by *that* obedience, that all the things we are witnessing within the Church today is black because Holy Church decided it was black in everything She handed down to us prior to V2, and will continue to hand down to us until the end of time so that every human creature is granted by God the same opportunity that we have, namely, to save their souls right up till the very end of the world.
However, the NOers believe the OP to mean the pope and follow him with blind obedience. The sedes believe the OP to mean the pope, yet they reject him as pope. Both are wrong, and even though St. Ignatius never says this, this is what they have been led to believe - that the Church teaches we owe blind obedience to the pope.
