When Must Catholics Stop Obeying the Pope? (What's Your Line in the Sand)

How far does Catholic obedience go? What happens when those in authority undermine the Faith they are duty-bound to protect? Michael Matt takes the Vatican’s latest treatment of Bishop Athanasius Schneider and the Latin Mass as the starting point for asking the million-dollar question: Where is your line in the sand?

If you think disobedience to the Vatican is impossible, then you must have missed plenty of prelates doing just that and remaining in “good standing”.

From Bishops Schneider and Strickland to the entire African Bishops Conference, resistance to the Synodal agenda and recent papal encyclicals is gathering steam.

And why not? When from St. Paul in the Gospel, to Our Lady’s prophecies at La Salette and Fatima, to the warnings of Sr. Lucia and Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich, Heaven has always prepped us to allow for a time when false prophets will arise and even the elect will be deceived…

So, answer this: Can there ever come a time when obedience itself becomes a betrayal of truth? And if that time comes, what does Christ expect of us?
