  Catholic DeclarationDECLARATION ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM On his part, man perceives and acknowledges the imperatives of the divine law through the mediation of conscience. In all his activity a man is bound to follow his conscience in order that he may come to God, the end and purpose of life. It follows that he is not to be forced to act in a manner contrary to his conscience. Nor, on the other hand, is he to be restrained from acting in accordance with his conscience, especially in matters religious. The reason is that the exercise of religion, of its very nature, consists before all else in those internal, voluntary and free acts whereby man sets the course of his life directly toward God. No merely human power can either command or prohibit acts of this kind. Source: http://www.newadvent.org/docs/dignitatis-humanae.htm For the Catholic Church to say that, and then say that all people owe allegiance to the papacy is no problem because the pope is not a mere mortal in their eyes. The statement says "No merely human power". Well, to Catholics, the pope is not merely human. Three Angels Broadcasting | Help Page | World Church |
