...is it St. Ignatius, by any chance?

It certainly is! And, for those, concerned with a strange or odd sense of "orthodoxy", it's Pre-Vatican II, to boot.

As you probably already know, the rules of St. Ignatius should be observed to foster the true attitude of mind we ought to have in the Church Militant.

The First Rule: With all judgment of our own put aside, we ought to keep our minds ever ready and prompt to obey in all things in the true Spouse of Christ our Lord, our Holy Mother, the hierarchical Church.

Notice, he did not say in things of a doctrinal nature only, but in ALL things, including disciplinary matters. Even if one were to be burderned with a bishop such as those named above (Mahony, Cawcutt), it must be seen as an opportunity to offer glory to God, in humility and docility by one's obedience, however distasteful. (This not not mean that one could not still write letters of complaint to the Holy See).

Does that apply to Cawcutt's altar boys?

Obeying a bishop's command to sin is not an oppurtunity to offer glory to God.
