Reflection 324
Based
on the 1965 Vatican II document: (Comments welcome here) |
This article speaks about the vow of obedience, which here in fact means "blind obedience"
Jesus
was obedient to his Father, and to Joseph and Mary.
But he was not obedient to the scribes and Pharisees...because they had lost the
plot
Civil "disobedience" is sometimes necessary to bring about change in society....c.f. Martin Luther King, Gandhi
Religious "disobedience" is sometimes necessary to bring about change in the Church
c.f. Hans Kung: Call for revolution
and: Prophetic obedience
Disobedient Jesus, please give courage to people who are being "disobedient" for the sake of the Good News!
