“To be right in everything, we ought always to hold that the white which I see, is black, if the Hierarchical Church so decides it.”

You know what happened in the late 1700s? The Pope at the time suddenly decided to disband the Jesuits. And you know what the Jesuits did? They disbanded. They accepted it. This is what Ignatius is on about here...having the humility to subject your will to a higher ecclesiastical authority even when it directly opposite to your own will.
Whoever wrote this article is a MORON.
