    • Obedience is, without doubt, more meritorious than any austerity. And what greater austerity can be thought of than that of keeping one's will constantly submissive and obedient? ----St. Catherine of Bologna

    And the other St. Catherine says:


    Quote
    “Alas, Most Holy Father!  At times, obedience to you leads to eternal damnation.”
    St. Catherine of Siena, Letter to Pope Gregory XI


    and St. Bernard of Clairvaux says:


    Quote
    "It appears clearly that those who command things evil are not to be obeyed, especially when, in yielding to wrong commands, in which you appear to obey man, you show yourself disobedient to God, who has forbidden everything that is evil. For it is altogether unreasonable to profess yourself obedient when you know that you are violating obedience due to the superior on account of the inferior, that is, to the Divine on account of the human. What then! God forbids what man orders; and shall I be deaf to the voice of God and listen to that of man? The Apostles did not understand the matter thus when they said, 'We must obey God rather than men' (Acts v. 29)."   Letter 7 of Some Letters of Saint Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux.

    Just to give context.

    I am posting quotes from this website

    https://www.catholictradition.org/Saints/virtue6.htm

    Which get the quotes from a book that was published in 1891.

    Usually October's virtue is Confidence in God, but I posted those quotes in June, so I am posting the June virtue quotes of obedience now.

    I just do it to share, not make any kind of statement.

    You could have "shared" without the :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm: .

    No need for the drama. :cowboy:
