Godwin's Law is no laughing manner.

Except for the case of furry Nazis. Those are pretty funny.

[quote name='CatherineM' post='1792404' date='Feb 27 2009, 09:25 AM']Canon 273: "Clerics have a special obligation to show reverence and obedience to the Supreme Pontiff and to their own Ordinary."

Priests give up a lot of personal freedom.[/quote]
A priest is required to be obedient to his hierarch in support of the truth, but if the hierarch in question is not teaching the truth (e.g., Arius, Nestorius, Severus, Dioscorus, et al.), one must be obedient to the truth of the Gospel before his bishop.

St. Maximos the Confessor (a layman) publicly challenged, reproved, and refused obedience to Patriarch Pyrrhus I when the latter embraced theological error.

To blindly follow a hierarch into theological error is a form of apostasy.

I can't think of the name but there was a man canonized a few years ago who had criticized the Vatican....
