Yes, we must be obedient to the Pope/Magisterium. But obedience is a matter of Justice. It is sinful to obey an unjust command (unjust in this case being contrary to God's Law). This is also a matter of faith.

Agreed, by your definition of unjust. It certainly clarifies the original post.

I have been so fortunate in my life - I have never attended a Mass where the priest was a dissenter in The Real Presence. Cardinal Law is pretty orthodox, and therefore, aside of the "normal" things that priests/bishops have done (removing altar kneelers, placing tabernacles on the side altars), I haven't come across a priest who teaches anything other than Christ is Present in the Eucharist. I would walk out if I did encounter that.

Do you think it possible Holy Mother Church/ The Pope could promulgate a Liturgy of Mass opposed or contrary to God's law?

Did the Holy Spirit die? If so, why wasn't I informed?
