The Catechism teaches – what it teaches-- the language is not complicated: the mutual subjection of the spouses in reverence to Christ. Simple as that.

What is final – is the teaching authority of the Catholic Church – given to us via the Catechism.

And internalize this — there is only one head/headship in a marriage – God.

The Family Needs A Head
It is not hard to get people to agree that parents have true authority. It is especially difficult in our modern society to get people to agree that the family must have a head. There must be in the family one person to make some filial choices. In short, we are saying that the husband and father is the head of the family and has a true authority over the wife. He has the right to command. This does not mean universally, indiscriminately, but in a defined area.

To define this area requires discussion by the individual husband and wife. This does not mean that the area is completely to be determined by subjective mutual agreement. The nature of things according to God’s plans will demand some priorities for the husband and some for the wife. The bonum fidei, the good of the faith, for instance will have to have a priority of choice. Moral good must have a priority over economic advantage. But a large part of the area will differ for different couples, according to their own agreement.

Eventually the area will be determined. Within this area, then, the wife owes obedience to the husband. He has the right to command, which means to make the choice.

The reasons for saying that the husband and father exercise a true authority are logical and theological. The logical are derived from reason. The theological reasons are based on revelation as given in Holy Scripture. First, we will examine the logical reasons for the need of a head of the family.

??? Then what???

OK, so you switched quotes. :rolleyes:
The top ten you posted are indeed from an anti-Catholic site, if you had bothered to read the other postings there. If you are going to use random things from the internet, at least verify their providence.
And btw, I think you are the one judging. Every marriage on the planet.
The above quote is incomplete even.
Unsubscribing. You’re clearly not interested in discussing it.
I can read stuff on the internet on my own, thanks.
But I prefer the Catechism, and the direction of my parish priest and Archbishop.
