Summary: Sermon titled "Obedience is the Only Response to Authority" given on Sunday June 30, 2013. Size: 7.6 MB; duration: 22:01. The Church's authority comes in the shape of a Cross. The vertical of the cross reflects that God's power or authority is transmitted to us through a hierarchy; a chain of command. The horizontal element reflects the apostolicity of the Church. All that is taught must be traceable to Christ and His apostles. Both elements must be present to command obedience. Included is a comparison of St. Joan of Arc with Savonarola; how each of them approached those in authority over them, and examples from the lives of St. Louis de Montfort and St. Juan Diego.
