Did you carefully read the article on the virtue of obedience, BTW?

I would like you to note particularly this sentence, quoting Fr. John Hardon, SJ, a very solid, very orthodox, very holy Jesuit theologian and writer. (Someone I was blessed to hear in person when he was on earth.)

. . obedience to God is without limit, whereas obedience to human beings is limited by higher laws that must not be transgressed, and by the competency or authority of the one who gives the orders.

Which is almost exactly what I said.

Yes I did....but I also read the Council of Trent which I would think to a Roman Catholic would take precedence.
