"Gave" is more appropriate.
Code Of Canon Law Book 3, Part o
Canon 752
While the assent of faith is not required, a religious submission of intellect and will is to be given to any doctrine which either the Supreme Pontiff or the College of Bishops, exercising their authentic Magisterium, declare upon a matter of faith and morals, even though they do not intend to proclaim that doctrine by definitive act. Christ's faithful are therefore to ensure that they avoid whatever does not accord with that doctrine.
Go along or get out.

OR: Go along or get out.”
That’s one way of putting it. It really comes down to:
Did God invent man or did man invent God. Is God internal to or external to man? Who created whom in whose own image?
We believe that God made the rules and the Church is His “hands” on earth. Therefore my decisions on what to do comes from that.
