We must be Catholics in faith first, obedient second! If the Holy See will not lead us in orthodoxy, we should not follow it into heterodoxy.How can you be a Catholic without a Pope? Isn't that one of the basic definitions of a Catholic: one who is in communion with the Bishop of Rome?

I am not urging we be Catholic without the Pope. But when he pursues unwise, heterodox policies such as Assisi I and II, we should not follow his bad example by praying with animists and witchdoctors. We should not make excuses for his bad behavior either.
