Setting aside all personal judgment of our own, we must keep our minds prepared and ready to obey in all things the true Bride of Christ our Lord, which is our holy mother, the Catholic Church…. To make perfectly sure of our orthodoxy, if the Catholic Church proclaims something to be black which appears to be white, we must accept that it is black. For we believe that there is one and the same Spirit in Christ our Lord the Husband, and in the Church His Bride. This Spirit governs and guides our souls to salvation; the same Spirit and the same Lord who gave the Ten Commandments guides and rules our holy mother the Church.
