Attributed to Ignatius Loyola in Spiritual Exercises, Rule 13 Henry Bettenson, ed., Documents of the Christian Church, 2nd ed. (London: Oxford University Press, 1963), p. 260.

Rendered also as,

Thirteenth Rule. 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...http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/loyola-spirex.asp

And such implicit cultic trust is consistent with what is expressed in quotes such as seen in this FR post here :

Thankyou for the pings dear FRiend!

"Attributed to Ignatius Loyola in Spiritual Exercises..."

God does not want us to abandon our reason and our senses.However,that spirit within us that drives our reasoning is another matter altogether.

"...be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12:2) "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord..." (Isaiah 1:18)
"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." (Jeremiah 33:3)
"But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." (Hebrews 5:14)
