However, I suggest his FIRST obedience is to Christ Our Lord - as it is for all Catholics. <br /><br />Consequently no bishop or Pope has the right to command anything which is immoral, contrary to the Gospel or would otherwise interfere with a Catholic's obedience to Christ.<br /><br />I am not suggesting that Bishop Campbell's command was in any way immoral, as I have absolutely no idea what has transpired between him and Deacon Donnelly.<br /><br />However, we all have the duty to understand obedience in the Catholic sense and not fall into the trap of false obedience which was so well exposed at the Nuremberg trials.

And Deacon Donnelly's bishop does not have any authority as bishop to act unlawfully or unjustly - to a deacon.

I echo Andrew in wondering what will happen next.<br /><br />While I quite understand a deacon must obey his bishop, was the deacon not 'going out to the peripheries' keeping us well informed? I would probably not have heard of the dangers of Acta if I had not read details of their meetings on the PTP blog. And has a Bishop really got the authority to close down a blog other than for not reflecting the teachings of the Church?<br /><br />(I see the first anti-robot word is 'worse' which looks ominous)Pelerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14243859145007696053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-16544201105517750442014-04-30T04:43:12.469+01:002014-04-30T04:43:12.469+01:00I can't help thinking that something momentous...I can't help thinking that something momentous is taking place in the Church right now.

We, the laity, have a completely different level of obedience and much more freedom, as you know, to express our opinions on things.<br /><br />We are not part of the "inside" or the hierarchy.<br /><br />It must be said that the time for blogging will be coming to an end for various reasons. Some of us sensed this four years ago.<br /><br />As to the Irish priest, do you have all the facts? Do you know if the priest has repented and has changed his ways? Let us pray this is the case.<br /><br />As usual, you make assumptions about things which are not in your view,unless you are a Vatican insider, and even those types get things wrong.<br /><br />Supertradmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829935047036023159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-46705555654114256742014-04-30T01:28:17.325+01:002014-04-30T01:28:17.325+01:00All I can say is to quote the faithful Rev.

Bernard Herman Kramer from his line-by-line commentary on the Book of Revelation, "The Book of Destiny."<br /><br />"Conscience may have lost its right to guide the actions of priests and may stand ignored or condemned. Diplomacy, expediency and other trickery may be upheld as the greatest of virtues..Nothing can demoralize the Church as fast or as far as the knowledge that faithful work and strict attendance to duty count for little and that studied diplomacy and playing up to the members of the episcopacy gains everything."<br /><br />He wrote this in reference to Rev XII,4, which refers to the devil sweeping a third of the "stars of heaven" down to earth with his tail. In prophecy, the stars of heaven are a reference to the clergy and bishops.SPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16375322679172027006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-56072060503199802662014-04-30T01:18:04.348+01:002014-04-30T01:18:04.348+01:00Well, who am I to judge?Well, who am I to judge?Православный физикhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313371333531421128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-53813437024484810672014-04-29T23:19:01.936+01:002014-04-29T23:19:01.936+01:00It's one way of quelling dissent - tell the di...It's one way of quelling dissent - tell the dissenters they are not dissenting.

This is now a well established pattern on the part of the Pope: the heretics, apostates and enemies of the Church and Faith are given free rein to do their evil, while the persecution of those orthodox priests, deacons, lay, religious escalates in severity, flagrancy and numbers. The scandalous suppression of the FFI, including the lay affiliates continues apace - to outright destruction (all wholly illegal and immoral). Deacon Nick Donnelly, orthodox British blogger in defence of the Faith, is the latest to have been unlawfully and unjustly silenced.
