The Catholic Church doesn’t teach that though. This is what Protestants tell each other about Catholics but that’s due to their own ignorance. Catholicism both Roman Catholicism and orthodox Catholicism (Protestants are, again, too ignorant to know the differences between Catholicisms) has always and continues to teach primacy of conscience over papal supremacy. Always. This has been reaffirmed by every pope in my lifetime too.
“Over the pope as the expression of the binding claim of ecclesiastical authority, there still stands one's own conscience, which must be obeyed before all else, if necessary even against the requirement of ecclesiastical authority"
- Pope Benedict XVI
Protestants are either too stupid to comprehend this or they simply aren’t interested in being honest. 🤷🏼♀️
