[Catholics Must Submit their Mind, Will, and Intellect to Papal Authority Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries] linger: "Roman Catholics are morally bound to believe whatever the pope teaches, even when he does not speak "ex Cathedra," from the chair of Peter. This means that Catholics are forbidden to believe what the Word of God teaches oly: unless the pope teaches the same doctrine. Following are two compelling laws that have been established to control what Catholics think and believe:
"Each individual must receive the faith and law from the Church with unquestioning submission and obedience of the intellect and the will. ... We have no right to ask reasons of the Church, any more than of Almighty God. ... We are to take with unquestioning docility whatever instruction the Church gives us" (The Catholic World, August 1871, vol. xiii, pp. 58089).
"The faithful, for their part, are obliged to submit to their bishops' decision, made in the name of Christ, in matters of faith and morals, and to adhere to it with a ready and respectful allegiance of mind. This loyal submission of the will and intellect must be given, in a special way, to the authentic teaching authority of the Roman Pontiff, even when he does not speak ex cathedra in such wise, indeed, that his supreme teaching authority be acknowledged with respect, and the one sincerely adhere to decision made by him, conformably with his manifest mind and intention." Lumen Gentium
[Mike Gendron Comment] We must encourage Catholics to submit to the supreme authority of God's Word and to destroy every argument raised against the knowledge of God. The Bible instructs all of us to take every thought captive to the obedience of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 10:5)." Pro-Gospel.org
