Obedience August 28, 2007
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
In this book Archbishop Roberts writes on how obedience is the key to Power not having a corrupting affect on those who hold it. He uses the example of the "Black Popes", which is the title given to the Jesuit Generals who serve for life. But the Order has safeguards to insure that the authority if its Superior general does not corrupt. And shares other examples where those who have held absolute power who where able to distinguish between its Source and its human holder. And some example of those that held the positions and the disasters that can occur when assumes the position of power and does not know how to use it justly. This would make a good text for the study of Saint Ignatius' "intelligent obedience."
