Just One Man's Opinion

Not universally true, and maybe not even true for the limited cases to which it applies. Pulling Christian teaching from quotes of individual saints is not moral theology, and even what is taken to be the result of the sanctified, connatural wisdom of a saint must be tested against Tradition and a proper moral theology.

“The more contemptible is he who commands, the more pleasing to God is the humility of him who obeys.”

-Saint Francis of Assisi (as recorded by Saint Bonaventure, “De Legenda Sancti Francesci”, ch. 6)
