We should always be disposed to believe that that which appears white is really black, if the hierarchy of the Church so decides.
Ignatius of LoyolaIf our church is not marked by caring for the poor, the oppressed, the hungry, we are guilty of heresy.
Ignatius of LoyolaWe must put aside all judgment of our own, and keep the mind ever ready and prompt to obey in all things the true Spouse of Christ our Lord, our holy Mother, the hierarchical Church.
Ignatius of LoyolaWhat seems to me white, I will believe black if the hierarchical Church so defines.
Ignatius of LoyolaJust as the commander of an army pitches his camp, studies the strength and defenses of a fortress, and then attacks it on its weakest side, in like manner, the enemy of our human nature studies from all sides our theological, cardinal, and moral virtues. Wherever he finds us weakest and most in need regarding our eternal salvation, he attacks and tries to take us by storm.
