Tag: Obedience

In today’s second reading, (Heb 5:7-9,) we are told that Jesus, “learned obedience from what he suffered.” I think obedience is one of the virtues that we have the most difficultly with in the American Catholic Church. We have Priests who are not obedient to their Bishops, Bishops who are not obedient to the Pope, and lets be honest, most lay people like you and me don’t really want to be obedient to any of them. It doesn’t help that many Catholic “personalities” seem to fan these flames to push their agenda.
