Carl Jung: Anyone who puts another "factor" above the authority of the Church is no longer a Catholic



To Jolande Jacobi 24 June 1935

... When I treat Catholics who are suffering from neurosis I consider it my duty to lead them back to the bosom of the Church where they belong.

The ultimate decisions rest with the authority of the Church for anyone who is of the Catholic faith.

Psychology in this context therefore means only the removal of all those factors which hinder final submission to the authority of the Church.

Anyone who puts another "factor" above the authority of the Church is no longer a Catholic. . . ~Carl Jung, Letters Vol. I, Page 191
