Obedience and the Common Good:Why We Should Defend the Traditional Latin Mass

Most conversations among Catholics about church affairs come around, sooner or later, to the question of “who’s in charge” and “who must obey.” We have inherited an impoverished framework of discussion, where the only poles are power and submission. This is rather like trying to evaluate great paintings with only black and white photos, or trying to understand the art of sculpture on the basis of two-dimensional images. In fact, it’s worse: it is a totally inadequate approach that makes a caricature of both godly power and righteous submission. We cannot understand a hierarchical structure unless we apprehend clearly the relationship between authority and the common good, and this relationship, in turn, illuminates the virtue of obedience. Although I have written about these matters in my book "True Obedience in the Church," I further develop the ideas in this lecture (in other words, this is not a rehash of the book, but fresh material). In particular, I expand on the rights and duties of clergy and laity in regard to divine worship. Given in Columbia, SC, on Friday, April 21, 2023.
