"St. Pius X certainly wasn't referring to today's traditionalists."
No, you are probably right. His writings were limited only to those people who agreed with his version of obedience. They were limited to those of his time. Wait a minute...
That is called "historicism" CONDEMNED in the Syllabus of Errors by Pius IX. But then again, those condemned statements are also only products of their time as well.
No, they don't apply to those of you at all. Only to everyone else. You don't have to obey. Only everyone else has to agree with, and obey you. Yeah, that's Catholic teaching.
Wait until I teach my daughter that tonight with the Baltimore Catechism. She'll be so happy that she doesn't have to obey her mother or me any more.
WOW!!! This is quite innovative. Historicism in Pius X's writings. Never thought of that.
Care to flesh out that answer a little more? I don't know what you are talking about.
But I can guess that if you tell your daughter to do something that is wrong or stupid or not to question you, then she'd better do it. When you've given her mother the wrong medicine, then she is wrong when she disobeys and tells you that you are wrong and tries to stop you. "Well, Mom's dead but at least I'm obedient!" (I'm not referring to you of course, I used the scenario from "It's a Wonderful Life" when George stops Mr. Gower from poisoning the sick kid)
