There is such a thing as ecclesiastical abuse of power. All ordinaries are obliged to command legitimately. They may not command what would harm the faith or the Church or what would be detrimental to the salvation of souls. Many do just this. When they do, they must be disobeyed.

To: ultima ratio

Which theory and fantasy conveniently places ultima ratio in the jusdgment seat as to his ecclesiastical superiors. The seat is shared with every other presumptuous Tom, Marcel and Harriet and thigs get very confusing as they spin off personal schisms from the collective schism but never mind.
