A great quote from Sheed

| | Comments (1)

This is an excellent quote explaining the nature of obedience to God's Will:

"We are not baptized into the hierarchy; do not receive the Cardinals sacramentally; will not spend an eternity in the beatific vision of the pope. Christ is the point. I, myself, admire the present pope, but even if I criticised him as harshly as some do, even if his successor proved to be as bad as some of those who have gone before, even if I find the Church, as I have to live with it, a pain in the neck, I should still say that nothing that a pope (or a priest) could do or say would make me wish to leave the church, although I might well wish that they would leave."

I had not heard this one before. Thanks to Mark Shea for pointing it out.

Would that all the groups who wish to change the Church from what she is would hold this idea in higher regard. It is truly our privilege to be a part of Christ's Church, and nothing should get in our way of helping Her, not even other members.
