God intended to teach all mortals, that He wishes all things to be governed by the natural order set up by His Providence; and that the inferiors and subjects of the mystical body of the Church, even thougj they may excel in virtue and in certain other respects, must obey and submit to their superiors and prelates in the visible order."-Mary of Agreda, The Mystical City of God: A Popular Abridgement of the Divine History and Life of the Virgin Mother of God
