In this episode, Ann, Mark, and Dr. Mazza discuss the Guardian Angels, the five First Saturdays and our Lady of Fatima’s request, and then on to the main event: The Fourth Commandment (Honor thy Father and Mother). This divine law concerns our obedience to all legitimate authority, so long as its authority is meted justly, for an unjust law is not law at all. We also discuss our obligations when asked to submit to illegitimate authority. Like everything else in life, it turns out that getting your base premise right is pretty important. Which also means that using your rational intellect is not only allowed, but required of you. God expects you to think, and figure things out… he tells us this in scripture. Private judgment is not sinful, it is expected, including on the question of who is the true Vicar of Christ.
