Blind obedience is not a virtue.

St. Ignatius and other great Saints thought it was. Of course, I'm sure you know better.

Where? Site the text. I know that Obedience was big with the Jebs, but blind obedience was never taught by Ignatius--it's certainly not in his Spiritual Exercises nor in anything I've ever heard of in connection with his Order. It would be self-evidently wrong. You can't ever obey a command to do evil, for instance. This is too obvious for mention.
