What do you think of the issue of obedience to a local ordinary who is overtly engaging in policies that hurt the Church (eg. Mahoney coming to the conclusion that no liturgical abuse takes place in L.A. so JPII's last encyclical does not apply) ?

Obviously the clergy and faithful there should follow the directives of higher authority rather than the Cardinal, if they ever did contradict.

On what do you base this statement?
