Fr. John Paul Echert

"This wonderful tract provides solid principles for our discernment, especially relevant in the face of new assaults upon Catholic tradition, and it will strengthen our resolve to obey God in all things."

Fr. John P Lovell

"To explain so succinctly the limits of obedience brings solace to canceled priests who are often jeered for 'not being obedient.' I highly recommend this work for both clergy and laity."

Co-Founder, The Coalition for Canceled Priests

Mother Miriam

"I am exceedingly grateful that such a son of the Church would assist us at this most difficult time to know how to respond to the many false and unreasonable dictates of a number of Her hierarchy. I consider True Obedience in the Church to be not only a must-read, but a healing balm of clarity for the Faithful."

Miriam Of The Lamb Of God, O.S.B.

Fr. John Hunwicke

"Professor Kwasniewski demonstrates with scrupulous care the obligation laid upon us by God to obey Him over any man whose will leads us from Him, be it even a pope. His exposition of Catholic teaching on obedience is a fine and lucid account which, I am sure, will help and encourage many, clergy and laity, who are troubled by the present situation in the Catholic Church."
