An apology

Things have been incredibly busy at work and I've been without the contemplative spirit to give things proper thought this past week. Following the Voice Within shall return next week.

"Over the pope as expression of the binding claim of ecclesiastical authority, there stands one’s own conscience which must be obeyed before all else, even if necessary against the requirement of ecclesiastical authority. This emphasis on the individual, whose conscience confronts him with a supreme and ultimate tribunal, and one which in the last resort is beyond the claim of external social groups, even the official church, also establishes a principle in opposition to increasing totalitarianism."
Joseph Ratzinger, Commentary on the Documents of Vatican II, 1967
