in all things, we must hold
fast to the following principle:
What seems to me white, I will
believe black if the hierarchical
Church so defines. For I must
be convinced that in Christ
our Lord, the Bridegroom, and
in His spouse the Church, only
one Spirit holds sway, who
governs and rules for the salvation
of souls. For it is by the
same Spirit and Lord who gave
the Ten Commandments that our
Holy Mother Church is ruled
and governed.
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton 1774-1821 American;

to the Catholic Church: for
if Faith is so important to
our salvation, I will seek
it where Faith first began,
seek it among those who received
it from God Himself.

must always have a supernatural
view of things and events.
