Obedience has long been a hallowed tradition in The Roman Catholic Church. Parishioners are supposed to obey pastors, pastors, bishops, and bishops are to obey The Holy Father in Rome.
For two thousand years, The Church has been obedient. Sincere, holy men and women prayed to God for guidance. The Church listened to their messages, as during the Avignon Papacy, 1309 to 1376.
The Papacy remained in Avignon for 67 years. For much of that time, it was not obedient t0 its Roman tradition. Finally, at the urging of the faithful, The Pope returned to Rome.
Today, The Roman Catholic Church is in a similar state. Why? Mary, The Mother of God, the most important of created beings, the Mother of The Church, the Blessed Mother of us all, told the Pope to do two things:
First, the Pope, with the Bishops of The Church, was told specifically to consecrate Russia to The Immaculate Heart of Mary. He was also told by Sister Lucy, an unimpeachable witness , that Mary wanted the Holy Father to release the Third Message of Fatima in 1960.
The Popes did neither. They, as their predecessors in Avignon, have not been true to tradition. The world is in worse shape because of that disobedience.
One cannot avoid what must be noted: The current problems in The Church and world exist because people are not obeying Catholic teachings. Can they be blamed for their disobedience when the Pope and the Bishops of The Church are not obeying Mary, the Mother of God?
The Pope and Bishops Should Obey Mary. We should obey them. As long as they don’t obey Mary, they give people an excuse to disobey them.
The world cannot be straightened out until the Pope and Bishops obey Mary. We can but pray that they do so before more unnecessary pain falls upon us. It may be reasonably concluded that every sin now raging is rampant because Mary has no choice but to withhold Her precious blessings until the Pope and Bishops do Her will.
The Pope and Bishops should obey Mary. We should obey them.
