They resisted the truth, just like we do today. Nothing changes with human nature. People don t change, and they resist the truth. They resisted the truth from Christ, from the prophets you heard Jeremiah say that they d persecute him and Jesus was killed because he was a prophet. People resist the truth from parents.
Parents have the chair of the house.
We resist the truth from teachers, from police officers, and from judges who sit and hear cases. And people certainly resist bishops and the Pope. He has authority to speak and we, as Catholics, have the obligation to listen carefully . But we live in an age of subjectivism and relativism. Many people deny the existence of truth itself, because whatever you say is truth for you, and whatever I say is truth for me.
