We must obey God rather than men. Benedict XVI stated this phrase of St. Peter's during the homily at this morning's Mass held with members of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, at work these days in the Vatican. The Pope noted that one can not dispense from seeking God and that obedience to God's the divine commandments is the source of true freedom for man, in contrast with contemporary libertarian tendencies. Benedict XVI said that if man exists only for himself, then the consent of the majority becomes the last word. History has demonstrated that this can often be a consent to evil, whereas obedience to God is the guarantee of freedom and truth for all men and women of all time.
